Mentoring for migrants

A mentoring programme has been set up for secondary school students from migrant backgrounds.

Created by the Immigrant Council of Ireland, the scheme will see volunteers, aged between 18 to 30 and from migrant backgrounds, trained as ambassadors, who will be paired with participating secondary schools.

They will be available to provide informal advice, guidance and support to students from migrant backgrounds to encourage them to do well both in an academic and a social context.
