About the volunteering opportunity
MefJu is a program that brings together volunteer mentors and children and young people (aged 8 to 25) and provides them with intensive support during the mentoring process.
Through mentoring, young people are strengthened during a challenging phase of their lives and receive support in successfully completing their school career, career guidance, language acquisition and participation in social life.
Together with the volunteer mentors, the young people's self-confidence is strengthened and resources are activated in order to develop life prospects.
