Mentor Me

Mentor Me is a thought-provoking enrichment programme for students looking to build their industry knowledge. They will be matched with professionals in their field of study, who will provide them with valuable insights to better prepare them for their future.

Mentors are vital for youths to effectively navigate towards their goals. Besides imparting knowledge, they also play a decisive role in influencing youths to make informed choices.

Some common issues faced by youths

• Passionate but lack appropriate guidance.
• Uncertainty of career or future path.
• Lack of clarity and motivation.

Contributions as Mentors

• Mentors will help mentees to build self-confidence and guide them in making good choices for their future.
• Beyond career guidance, mentors will also play an important role in their mentees’ personal development.

We look forward to making a difference together with you!

The programme is to begin in July/Aug 2020.

Through Mentor Me, students will be matched with mentors (professionals) based on their field of study. Through face to face/virtual interactions, mentors will be able to share their knowledge with their mentees and give them a better understanding of their field of study. This 5-month long journey will not only groom students into capable young adults who are ready for their future, but it will also inspire the next generation of youth to become mentors. 

*Mentors are required to participate in a minimum of two interactions per month

SINDA’s Youth Division has designed a resource package to guide mentees and mentors through the programme. In addition to the monthly log sheets and checklists, the following were also shared with both groups of individuals:

1. Roles and Responsibilities
2. Communication Guidelines
3. 10 suggested topics to serve as a progressive guide for mentors during their monthly face-to-face / virtual mentoring sessions with mentees
4. Schedule of suitable career enrichment workshops

• Professionals with a minimum of 3 years of work experience
• Keen to positively impact youth
