Volunteer Mentor

Give an hour. Power a career transformation.

Volunteer as a mentor at UstackSchool and help career-changers, first-time job seekers and returners reach a real outcome - the offer, the switch, the confidence. Bring your career experience in your discipline and your market (UK, US, Ireland, Australia, Canada) and we’ll match you to learners working towards it.

Why volunteer

A little of your time goes a long way.

🎯 Drive a real transformation

You are not just giving advice - you are helping someone land the role, make the switch and change their trajectory. Mentor towards the outcome.

🌍 Mentor for the right market

Share how hiring really works in the UK, US, Ireland, Australia or Canada - the market you know first-hand, matched to learners targeting it.

🧭 Bring the career experience

The on-the-job perspective, the workflows, the interview signals no course can teach - the difference between learning a skill and getting hired.

⏱️ Flexible & remote

Give the time you can - a single session, a review, or an ongoing mentee through their whole transition. Remote-friendly, around your schedule.

What mentors do

Mentor learners - and help shape what we build.

You decide the depth and cadence. Beyond mentoring, you can improve our curriculum and shape the Work Experience Residency - core roles and industry-specific briefs. Every one of these moves learners closer to the role:

Coach a learner to their first role or switchReview a capstone, portfolio or CVRun mock interviews with real feedbackShare how the role and market really workGuide an ongoing mentee through their transitionHelp improve and co-design our curriculumShape the Work Experience Residency (core roles)Provide industry-specific work experience
Go further

Every volunteer mentor is an Outcome Partner too.

Mentoring one-to-one is one way to move a learner to the offer. As a UstackSchool Outcome Partner you can also refer roles, host a work-experience brief, hire from our proof-backed talent pool or sponsor an outcome - however you can help someone get there.
