Suas seeks to bring together a diverse team of Mentors from colleges and corporate social responsibility programmes, with a broad range of skills, abilities, talents and interests for the Bridge to College (B2C) Programme. We're looking for a mix of guys and girls, introverts and extroverts, from a wide range of academic, social, ethnic backgrounds.
Does this interest you?!
Over 50 third level students from colleges across Dublin have been involved as mentors over the past two years of the B2C programme. On average, each mentor committed 3 hours per week to work with teams of Transition Year students from secondary schools in the Dublin area. Students and mentors alike engaged in and benefited from the learning-by-doing philosophy of the programme.
Mentor Testimonies
"Mentoring on the B2C has given me more direction in life, I know now I want to get into education."
"I felt I was part of a team [of mentors] doing something really meaningful..."
"I think everyone benefits from the B2C (win, win!)"
"It's a good way to help in the educational development of Dublin. There are serious gaps in educational standards between schools in this city."

We welcome anyone who is interested in becoming a mentor for the next term. Terms start in October and January.
Weekly schedule:
Tues 9am - 3pm | Wed 9am - 3pm | Thurs 9am - 3pm | Fri 9am - 1pm |
