One Million Mentors is a community – based mentoring project that has one simple aim: connect one million young people with one million life – changing opportunities. We want to give young people the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills, networks and confidence to succeed. 1MM connects young people with businesses, professionals and people within local communities who have the experience and expertise in the world of work and want to share it.
Our 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.
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 14-25 years old, for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year.
