The IntoUniversity Mentoring Scheme matches a young person (aged 10-17 years) with a current university student. They select young people they think will benefit – they might not know anyone who has been to university, parents might not have the time or skills to support them academically, they may have low confidence or want to know more about their future pathways. Mentoring pairs engage in activities to support in academic attainment, social skills, and exploring future options.
