Could you spare a little time to make a massive difference in a young person’s life? Our Career Mentoring programme connects professionals like you with 13 to 16-year-olds in Bedford’s secondary schools to help them navigate their futures.

Life at that age is full of big decisions—what to study? What career to aim for? And how to get there? But sometimes, the first place to start is looking at basic employability skills – that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for relatable, real-life mentors who can share skills, challenge, and inspire young people. Whether you’re just starting out in your career or you’re a seasoned pro, your unique experiences can help them to learn key skills that will help set them on their way. You don’t have to have all the answers—you just have to listen, support, and share your journey.

Befriending, Buddying & Mentoring

Think you might be the mentor we need? Answer these questions: = Do you believe every young person deserves the chance to shine? = Were you helped by someone when you were younger and want to pay it forward? = Do you want to help a young person expand their skills and confidence? = Are you looking to develop your own leadership and interpersonal skills? If you answered yes to any of these, we’d love to hear from you!

By becoming a mentor you can: Boost your communication and leadership skills. Expand your network. Build confidence and gain a sense of fulfilment. Learn new skills that support your career development. Gain fresh perspectives from your mentee. Raise your business profile in the Bedford community.

Once meeting a month with your mentee, for one whole academic year - 9 sessions from November 2025 to July 2026. You will be matched with a young person at one secondary school in Bedfoed Borough
