Being a mentor has multiple effects, both for the mentor and the mentee. Mentorship goes beyond providing support to overcome personal challenges, to empowering leaders and enabling youth to take charge of their future. Mentors improve their cognitive and social skills through implementing youth projects which represents a hands-on approach to learning. Mentors will be UNICEF Volunteers and will be given certificates from UNICEF and the implementing partner in recognition of the volunteer work they do. Mentors will be part of the Network of Professionals coming from the private and public sector, thus have the chance to collaborate on other levels.

We aim to help youth through valuable mentorship
We’re humbled to be working with such great people that range from different careers. “As a winner of the scholarship of the Transformational Leadership Program, I was obliged to do
400 hours of voluntary work in community service, he explained. "The reason why I joined
UNICEF and not another organization, was to contribute to the community and help in the good
work this organization does for so many." “Seeing these gaps in our education system, and analyzing them, I had this wish to give some
personal contribution to eradicating this bad phenomenon because I think Kosovo can be
changed for the better through education,"she says. “Volunteer work with the youth made me understand more about their conditions, their needs,
and about Kosovo itself, what it is like and what its future is," she says. "And this helped me a
lot to develop professionally."
