Become a Mentor

Are you interested in working as a Student Mentor?

Each year, Glasgow Caledonian University’s Outreach and Community Engagement department recruit undergraduate students to work as Student Mentors on a variety of programmes such as: working with young people from local nursery, primary and secondary schools and their families; working with senior pupils and college students considering HE study; and supporting current GCU students on campus.

Student Mentors act as role models and GCU ambassadors, delivering a wide range of activities to increase the confidence, core skills and life-long learning aspirations of young people and help senior pupils and college students with the transition to GCU/ Higher Education.

The department specifically look for enthusiastic and organised undergraduate students, with excellent communication skills.  Full training will be given.
