Rachel Carr, our Chief Executive and Co-Founder, reflects on the little moments in a students' journey that are so essential on the longer road to success, as well as the little moments which have defined IntoUniversity's partnerships.
Our mentoring programme provides the young people we work with the opportunity to receive mentoring from volunteers, who provide support and act as positive role models.

An integral part of our partnership with the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, Community Liaison Officers, Tom and Niamh reflect on their roles, how their efforts enrich IntoUniversity’s offering for its young people and how the partnership has grown in the three years since its inception.
Many of our mentors choose to volunteer with us because they want to support young people to develop their skills, but they often end up getting just as much out of the Mentoring programme as our young people do.
