Mentor at Issac Newton Academy!

We recruit, train and deploy volunteer mentors, matching them with mentees and providing high quality support to both so that they are well prepared and can have an effective and impactful mentoring relationship. Our mentoring is one to one, for young people aged 16-17 year olds at Issac Newton Academy for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year. 

Mentors from diverse professional backgrounds are trained and supported to guide young people aged 14-25, helping them achieve their goals and build confidence, next steps in their career. You'll meet for just one hour a month, but your impact will last a lifetime!

What is 1MM?

1MM mentoring empowers young people to become the best version of themselves: building relationships - free of assumption and judgement - where they benefit from another’s experience and perspective and can think bigger, find their own answers and take the next meaningful step into their future.
