Become a Volunteer Mentor with DuoL

Duration:

A 6-month commitment with a minimum of two meetings per month. All exchanges are confidential, and no written reports are required.

Location:

The first meeting takes place in person in Lausanne (Beaulieu). Afterwards, meetings are flexible and arranged freely between the mentor and the job seeker.

How it will work:

• Register on the DuoL website (https://duol.ch/formulaire-mentor/)
• Let’s get to know each other during an initial interview and confirm our collaboration.
• We will propose a person for you to support.
• Meet your mentee during a first three-party meeting at DuoL with the assigned coordinator.
• Start your 6-month mentoring journey. Connect, exchange, and share!
• At the end of the 6 months, we organize a closing meeting to reflect and conclude the experience together.

Introduction:

During the initial interview, we get to know each other and introduce DuoL. After registering, you will also receive our mentoring guide.

Support:

Throughout the program, a DuoL coordinator follows the mentoring remotely and is available for any questions or support needs.
