How it works
Step 1
Find the perfect mentor
After getting to know your child, we’ll suggest a mentor pairing based on relevant experiences, backgrounds and matching interests. Our mentors span a huge range of backgrounds from working at the Civil Service and Netflix, to the world of journalism and the West End.
Step 2
Tailor your futures journey through choosing modules
Following an introductory call, you and your mentor will identify the modules most relevant to your goals. Together, you'll create a personalised plan designed to boost your confidence and prepare you for the next step; whether that’s applying to university, exploring career options, or enhancing your online presence.
Step 3
Monitor progress and next steps
You will receive progress reports following each of the 12 sessions from your mentor and regular check-ins from our team. This ensures you have oversight over the process and that we’re working towards the results you’re looking for.
