IntoUniversity Gateshead University Student Mentoring

The IntoUniversity Mentoring scheme pairs a university student with one of IntoUniversity’s young people (aged 10-17), giving them the opportunity to receive tailored, one-to-one support for their academic attainment, social skills and future planning.

• Gain experience for your CV
• Make a real difference to a young person’s life
