Mentoring

ACAA mentors come from diverse professional backgrounds but will have experience or expertise to enable them to guide a refugee or migrant and will have an understanding of the issues they face. Mentors encourage their mentees to develop their skills and fulfil their potential during what can often be a difficult transition to a new country and lifestyle.

A mentee can be anyone who might benefit from one-to-one support and advice, whether they have a specific problem to overcome or they’re looking for more general guidance.

We have a diverse range of mentors who are able to provide support and expertise on immigration and asylum issues, mental health, education, employment and counter-radicalisation (particularly with young people vulnerable to extremism), as well as general guidance and friendship.

We accept mentee referrals from local agencies, schools, and any other professionals.

We are currently looking to reestablish our mentoring scheme, so if you are interested in being a mentor or a mentee, contact us by email or phone.
