Mentoring Scheme
LEARN AND ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS
The AFON mentoring scheme aims to provide support to all young people regardless of income, background or education. As long as you have access to the internet, a passion for nature, and commitment to the scheme, you’re in. It’s completely free thanks to the voluntary work of the mentors and AFON committee.
The mentoring programme offers aspiring conservationists aged 18-30 the opportunity to link with established professionals for tailored one to one guidance, support and advice as they develop their careers. The scheme is open to young people who live, work or study in the UK, unless you have a specific interest in working in UK conservation.
We have a fantastic team of mentors who can provide insight to a range of careers. Please check out the subpages to find out who they are. The Information Booklet below gives further information on the scheme. If you’d like to take part, please read the Mentoring Agreement and complete the Application Form. Email mentors@afocusonnature.org if you have any queries. We look forward to hearing from you!
