About the volunteering opportunity
Do you want to empower, accompany and support people?
Become an opportunity mentor and change lives - in a very concrete, very personal way.
Sometimes all you need is someone who listens, motivates and believes in you. Opportunity mentors take on precisely this role. They support children or young people or adults with difficult starting conditions - in learning, in the transition to work or simply in everyday life.
It's not just about tutoring, but about genuine relationships, encouragement and guidance.
