Change a young person's future...
and yours !
Being a volunteer mentor is a commitment to supporting young people in their job search and helping them find their path in the job market. By sharing your experience, you boost their chances of building their own career, while contributing to a fairer and more united society.
A unique and rewarding
human experience
Our intergenerational mentoring program pairs a volunteer mentor with a young jobseeker (mentee).
Over the course of 6 months, they meet regularly to work together on a personalized action plan. The mentor receives training from the association to effectively support their mentee, help them overcome obstacles, and achieve their professional goals.
These meetings offer mentors the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone, feel useful, challenge their prejudices, develop new skills, and connect with an active network of mentors.

The 5-step program
The success of the DUO for a JOB mentoring program is rooted in the warm professionalism of its teams and the application of a proven methodology.
1. The info session
This is an opportunity to present the project to you, clarify the roles of each participant, and answer any questions you may have.
2. The individual appointment
You are invited to have an individual meeting with a coordinator, where we can better understand your experience and expectations.
3. Initial training
No coaching experience is required! Each participant will complete a 4-day collective initial training course to learn the essential skills and interpersonal techniques needed to be an effective mentor.
4. The first encounter
You will meet your future mentee and confirm (or not) the match made by the team. If the match is confirmed, a second meeting will be scheduled to sign the mentoring agreement and clarify everyone's commitments.
5. The duo
For 6 months, you will have:
👉 20 appointments (2 hours each) with your mentee
👉 One referent coordinator who supervises your duo
👉 Group workshops and intervision sessions between mentors
👉 A warm, fully-equipped workspace available 5 days a week

Each mentee is different, so their needs and expectations are not always the same. In general, he does not always have the necessary tools for his job search. He therefore would like to help him define his professional desires and identify his skills, to write his resume and cover letter or to search for job offers together. It is therefore teamwork where you have to listen to the other, understand their realities, build a relationship of trust, in order to move forward together in the same direction!
