News Article: Kassel Mentoring Project Seeks Volunteers to Support Young People

The AGiL employment promotion agency's mentoring project in the Kassel region is calling for doctoral candidates or doctorate holders from all humanities and social sciences to become mentors starting from November 2025. This one-year commitment aims to provide guidance and support to young people, particularly those with migration or refugee backgrounds, in their transition from school to work.

Applications for the mentoring role can be submitted now by filling out the mentor application form and sending it to [email protected]. For more information, potential mentors can contact Brigitte Vogler, project coordinator, at 0561-1003 1275 or via email at [email protected].

The mentoring project, which is funded by the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration, has been successful in helping young people navigate their career paths for over 10 years. Currently, around 50 volunteers are helping with career orientation, writing applications, finding internships and apprenticeships, and preparing for job interviews.

Mentors are required to have professional knowledge and life experience. They will be integrated into a well-organized and professionally supervised network. In addition to individual support, mentors also train young people in cooperation with schools to prepare them for job interviews.

The mentors will receive compensation for their expenses. AGiL, the project's sponsor, offers regular meetings, networking events, and training sessions to support the volunteers. The demand for mentors is high in the city and region, making this an excellent opportunity for those who wish to give back to their community.

The mentoring project's website can be found at www.ourwebsite/gesellschaft-und-bildung/jugendberufshilfe/mentoringproject.php. For more information and to apply, visit the website or contact Brigitte Vogler today.

Mentorship often continues even after an apprenticeship has begun, providing a lasting impact on the lives of young people. By becoming a mentor, you can make a difference in the life of a young person in the Kassel region.
