For mentors

Be there. Become a steady shoulder.

A mentor is someone who accompanies one of the Volnyja on the way to a new life — with training, guides and the team nearby. In our experience, mentoring takes no more than 5 hours a week.

Become a mentor

Your knowledge, attention and support will help someone start a new life.

The mentor’s path

Behind every mentor, a team.

You don’t need to be an expert, a consultant or a psychologist. We will prepare you, give you all the materials and knowledge you need — and stay close the whole time.

  1. Fill in the form

    Tell us about yourself.

  2. Training (~3 hours)

    Lessons on communicating with vulnerable groups, and an introduction to the guides we have written for helping the Volnyja.

  3. A talk with a psychologist

    To work out your capacity and expectations.

  4. Joining the community

    Meet our mentors from more than 15 countries and get invitations to community events.

  5. Meeting one of the Volnyja

    Keep in touch in the format you choose — the team always stays close.

Why we became mentors

«For me, helping Volnyja is an opportunity to influence the world around me. I see how my support and small pieces of advice help my mentee feel better every day and spread kindness further.»
Julia, Volnyja mentor
«Mentoring at Volnyja became a point of personal growth. Even in emigration, volunteering lets me help Belarusians, see my strengths, and be part of a supportive environment.»
Maryna, Volnyja mentor
«It is wonderful that we do not only care for Volnyja; we receive care in return. The team brings benefits, mentees bring gratitude, and mentors bring support and understanding.»
Alena, Volnyja mentor
