The ROCK YOUR LIFE! (RYL!) mentoring program has been helping young people in Switzerland make a successful start in their careers and integrate socially since 2013. Its focus is on young people with insufficient family support, a difficult socio-economic background and/or who are refugees.

In one-to-one mentoring, young adults mentor young people by helping them with their professional orientation. Mentors provide individual support and promote young people’s self-efficacy and social skills through regular one-on-one meetings.

The mentoring is supported by four training blocks, application workshops and other offers.

With your commitment, you actively support young people and their mentors in developing their potential by leading training days. You will learn how to apply methods of positive psychology and expand your social and training skills.
