One-to-One Online Mentorship for Youth4Climate Call for Solution 2025 Applicants

With the support of our partner United Nations Volunteers (UNV), Youth4Climate has recruited online volunteer experts in project design, management and implementation to support you in the Youth4Climate Call for Solutions 2025 application process. Online volunteers will provide you with a 45 min one-to-one online session to guide you in understanding the technical aspects of the application, in particular the completion of the workplan and budget template. The online volunteers will not mentor you on the substance of your project idea or concept of your proposal.

What to consider while choosing an online volunteer?

 

We have assigned 28 Online Volunteers (OVs) who are experts in project design, management and implementation. Our OVs are from different time zones and can speak over 10 languages (including English, French, Spanish and Portuguese). 

Therefore, you can choose a volunteer that can align with your preferred expertise, time zone and language.

We have attached the list of online volunteers in alphabetical order below. Please make sure you go through all the online volunteers before you select your top 3 choices (we will allocate one of them to you).

What's expected of you while attending the sessions

 

You have only 45 minutes to obtain this support, so it's mandatory to submit your draft workplan and budget during registration for the service, enabling your mentor to access your documents beforehand and provide you with technical advice on areas of improvement during the session and saving time for any questions you may have.

You can book only one session. If you were not satisfied with your session, please contact us.

When you book your Calendar with your mentor, please make sure that you available and you have a stable internet connection.  

If you are more than 10 minutes late for your session, your mentor reserves the right to cancel the session without providing another one. If you anticipate being late or encounter an unavoidable or urgent situation, please email your mentor at least 2 hours before the session.
