Widen opportunity for the people you serve.
Charities and social enterprises change lives with small teams and tight budgets. mentorhero adds a global network of working mentors behind your programme, so every person you support can spend 30 minutes with someone already doing the job they want.
headcount allows
Your impact is limited by how many people you can sit with.
Advice is the part of the work that never scales. mentorhero gives your beneficiaries access to mentors in the industries they are trying to reach, without you hiring a single extra adviser.
people say they have never spoken to anyone working in the career they are aiming for
is all it takes to turn good intentions into a concrete next step
Built to add nothing to your team’s workload.
Small teams carry enough already. Here is exactly what sits with you and what sits with us, week by week.
We agree who is eligible
You tell us the cohort, the numbers and any safeguarding rules you work to.
We write it into the programme so nobody outside your criteria can book.
Your team gets one link
Caseworkers, volunteers or youth workers share a link in the conversations they already have.
We build the invitation in your name, with plain language and no login for the person using it.
People take their 30 minutes
Nothing. No rota, no matching, no chasing.
We match each person to someone doing the job they are heading towards, and we run the session.
You get the evidence
You send it to funders, trustees and your board.
Take up, topics raised, confidence before and after, and what people said in their own words.
The conversations that move someone forward.
Getting into work after a setback
Interview preparation
Breaking into an industry
Writing a CV that lands
Retraining and switching direction
Confidence and self belief
Building a network from scratch
The first ninety days of a new role
Mentors are matched to the field the person is aiming for, so the advice is specific rather than general.
Everything you need to prove the impact.
Charity pricing is set against the number of people you support, so the cost is known up front and never scales with take up.
- A branded invitation your team can share in minutes
- Expert mentors matched to the role and industry
- Sessions delivered at no cost to the person you support
- A dashboard showing uptake, topics and feedback
- Social value reporting you can use with funders
- A tree planted for every completed session
The figures a trustee actually asks about.
Reach, cost and staff time, in the shape a grant report wants them. Every one of these comes back to you per cohort, with the quotes and take up behind it.
Never a paywall, never a means test at the point of use.
More working professionals than any single charity could recruit.
Useful when the people you serve arrived from somewhere else.
Sharing a link, not running a matching process.
Add career mentoring to your service without adding a service.
Your team already holds the relationships. Partnering with us adds the one thing that is hard to source: professionals in the right industries, available for 30 minutes, checked and supported.
Mentors you could not recruit alone
Access to professionals across industries and countries, without running your own recruitment and vetting.
Safeguarding already handled
Identity checks, a code of conduct, consent rules for 16 to 18 and a clear reporting route.
Nothing for your budget to absorb
Sessions are free to the people you support, so access is never the thing that stops a referral.
