Register now to be a Mentor on the We Speak programme
We Speak trains you as a mentor so you can transform the speaking confidence of under-represented student.
You'll take part in a 2.5 hour training session and then the programme runs for one hour a week over 4 weeks. All sessions take place online via group video calls where you'll work 1:1 and in small groups.
Mentors are supported by We Speak facilitators, graduates of We Speak who are now confident enough to deliver the programme.
The only criteria for mentors is that you are friendly and approachable as this creates a supportive environment for the students who lack confidence.
"I have continued to find being a mentor extremely rewarding again this year. The most amazing thing was seeing students grow from earlier sessions until the final wrap-up. It has helped me work on my own confidence. Just a huge thank you for making this happen and for getting us involved as an organisation.” GE EFS Mentor
