Support our mission, help the international volunteers who join us to integrate, learn and develop - and grow yourself!
Within the framework of the European Solidarity Corps, mentors play an essential role in supporting volunteers in our programs. A mentor helps to put various pictures together to see larger perspectives and provide personal support for 2-10 month with at least one one-to-one meeting per month (preferably face-to-face).
As a mentor you can bring experience, perspective, objectivity and distance into the mentoring relationship. You can offer a long-term view for the organisation and the individual and strengthen the volunteers' focus and positive attitude towards our youth work in Szécsény or our communication activities in Budapest. You are influential in terms of helping the ESC volunteer reach their goals and aspirations. You care about the mentee and focus on the needs of the individual, and you can provide empathy, candour, openness and honesty.
As a mentor your main activities will be to:
- Establish a positive, personal relationship with the ESC volunteer
- Help the ESC volunteer to develop or begin to develop life skills
- Assist the ESC volunteer on obtaining additional resources
- Increase the ESC volunteer ability to interact with people/groups/things from various backgrounds (cultural, racial, socioeconomic etc.)
Helping others can bring personal satisfaction. Learning that a mentee is doing well and advancing in their project is highly rewarding. Hearing about a mentee's hardships or failures can help you as a mentor to explore alternative solutions and create more effective processes. Mentorship is also a valuable way to develop leadership and communication skills, gain confidence while you learn and expand your networks.
