Community Volunteers Foundation (TOG)- Guidance Project

This mentoring project brings together the TOG youth and adult volunteers to provide support for young people to reach their goals and help their personal development.

Since 2003, a total of 1,150 people have been brought together with volunteers.

The high rate of youth unemployment in Turkey reminds us of the importance of increasing young people's competence and motivation for youth to start and lead a successful professinal life. In light of this, the project is designed as a mentorship project to bring together community volunteer youth and professional adults.

What we do:

1. Kick-off training of Mentor candidates: Initial training will be held for 60 adults who want to volunteer as mentors in the project.
2. Pairing 60 Mentors and Mentees: 60 mentors and mentees will be paired to meet at least twice a month between November and July.
3. Social Responsibility Activities: Two social responsibility activities to be held with the participation of mentors and mentees per year.
4. Job Shadowing: In the scope of the project each mentee will spend a day at the workplace of their mentors.
