A Catalunya, un de cada sis alumnes abandona l’institut abans d’acabar els estudis postobligatoris. Milers d’adolescents que, amb més acompanyament, haurien pogut continuar estudiant.

Aspirem a que cada jove, independentment de les seves condicions de partida, tingui un recorregut educatiu d’èxit, i ho volem fer gràcies al suport extraordinari, en els moments de presa de decisions, de referents que els acompanyin.

Mentora és una iniciativa que vol contribuir a que tot l’alumnat català finalitzi els estudis postobligatoris. Per fer-ho, proposem que cada jove que ho necessiti tingui un referent, un mentor o mentora que l’acompanyi en la transició entre l’ESO i la secundària superior. Proposem fer-ho amb mentoria perquè sabem que és una metodologia que funciona i que fa que tota la societat s’impliqui en l’èxit educatiu.

Emparellem alumnat de 3r i 4t d’ESO amb una persona mentora amb qui fan sessions individuals setmanals d’1’5 hores de caràcter informal i personalitzat. En aquestes sessions es fan activitats i es promouen converses sobre les seves vocacions i aspiracions, que permetin als nois i noies informar-se, reflexionar i prendre decisions, alhora que poden posar en pràctica habilitats bàsiques per l’èxit educatiu (comunicació, resolució de problemes, organització, pensament crític…). Les parelles de mentoria tenen seguiment professional per part d’equips que estaran coordinats amb els referents educatius dels alumnes (equips docents, d’orientació, de serveis socials…) per dur a terme una acció coherent i efectiva.

A Mentora tenim la sort de comptar amb entitats, ajuntaments i instituts compromesos amb la lluita contra l’abandonament escolar prematur que, localment lideren aquesta iniciativa promoguda per la Fundació Bofill. Aquests equips estan constituïts per professionals de l’àmbit social, juvenil i educatiu d’arreu del territori català.

Job Shadow Day allows students, aged 16 and over, to accompany a company manager (or department head) or his/her representative during a working day.

The experience differs from a simple company visit, as the students can observe a manager performing the daily tasks of his/her job for a whole day. In this way, students get an idea of the responsibilities of a company manager and gain important impressions of working life.

Job Shadow Day aims to transmit to the students:

- the relevance of a good school education: students realise how their school knowledge and skills help them in working life;
- the requirements of the labour market (profiles and skills needed)
- an overview of the responsibilities of a business leader;
- the meaning and importance of teamwork
- an overview of the different career paths;
- the desire to be an entrepreneur


The Job Shadow Day gives the company the opportunity:

- to gain new personnel resources: meeting a potential future apprentice or employee;
- positioning yourself as an attractive employer;
- to present themselves and promote a positive image;
- to engage in the field of corporate social responsibility;
- passing on professional experience to the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow;
- have a fruitful exchange with young people

Period : 1 day (between the 31st March and 4th April 2024)

Volunteering with Action Tutoring is an easy and rewarding way to make a difference to the lives of young people facing disadvantage. By volunteering as a tutor for just one hour a week, you can change the life of a child or young person, helping them open doors to their future. You'll have fun too!

As a volunteer, you can choose what subject (English or maths) you tutor, what day/time you volunteer, the subject and age-range right for you. You can choose to volunteer in person (at one of our local partner schools) or online (through our virtual classroom). With sessions taking place at the same time each week, across the course of 10-20 weeks, you'll support the same two-three pupils to build their maths and English subject knowledge, confidence, study skills and growth mindset, increasing their chance of success in key SATs and GCSE exams. At Action Tutoring we provide all the training and resources needed to tutor, plus cover the cost of an enhanced DBS check for you.

What are we looking for and what's our volunteer criteria?

We look for volunteers who can spare just 1 hour per week across the course of a programme (10-20 weeks). Previous tutoring experience, or experience working with young people, is not necessary, but we do look for volunteers with the passion and patience to tutor!

We look for volunteers who have achieved at least a 'B' at A-Level (or equivalent) in their chosen subject (or similar subject) or have/are working towards a degree. If you don't neatly fit into our qualifications criteria, but have significant experience using maths or English in your work, we'd still love to welcome an application from you.

Benefits

Through tutoring with us our volunteers are able to develop a wealth of transferable skills that employers love (interpersonal, organisational, communication) and whilst making a significant difference. We work with students from universities and corporations across the UK. Help your community. Apply today: www.actiontutoring.org.uk

We're partnered with schools across East and West Midlands, North West, London, Newcastle and County Durham, Sheffield, Bristol and Sussex. If you'd like to tutor in-person, you'll need to be based in one of these areas. However, if you'd prefer online volunteering, you can volunteer from anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.
