We are driven to improve the well-being of refugees and create a community where they can thrive in the UK. We do this by delivering three employability programmes in London and Brighton through selling organic, artisan baked goods on markets and through our wholesale service stocking coffee shops and events.
Our programmes are designed for young refugees and people seeking asylum aged 16-24 and provide jobs, work experience, training and mentoring at our market stalls and as online sales representatives.
What does the opportunity involve doing?
We are looking for volunteer mentors for Young People from refugee backgrounds on our next Risers Programme!
What's involved in these 2 months of mentoring?
? Mentoring training! We give you all the tools and resources you need to succeed!
? Supporting your mentee at one of our markets, selling baked goods every weekend (2h/week)
? Weekly 1:1 mentoring sessions to help your mentee work on their goals (1h/week)
? Helping your mentee pinpoint new opportunities after Breadwinners and supporting them to apply
? Participating in our fun socials and community events!
No previous mentoring experience is needed, just positive energy and an eagerness to learn! We guarantee many laughs, fresh loaves and a supportive, bread-loving community!
Key dates:
? October 11th: Mentor training - 6pm
? October 14th-15th: Programme starts on the markets
? December 7th: Graduation!
