The Mentoring Programme:

http://www.suas.ie/mentoring.html

The Suas Mentoring Programme is a nationwide programme of tailored interventions designed to tackle educational disadvantage at a local level whilst engaging college students in structured service learning opportunities. Students will have the opportunity to become mentors, work with a partner school in a school setting or on-campus and to improve the literacy levels of 8-14 year old children who are most in need and at the same time be able to develop their own skills and learn more about educational disadvantage. Mentors will be asked to volunteer an average of 1.5 hours per week for eight weeks of the coming semester.

Applications for both the Global Issues courses and Mentoring programme are currently open. Both programmes are open to students of all faculties and disciplines.
