Blossom LGBT Mentoring Programme is a 100% free mentoring and coaching service dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA+ young adults aged 16-30 across the UK. Our mission is to help you gain equal access to education and employment, while empowering you to embrace your authentic self.
We offer a structured, supportive journey:
- Step 1: Your First Connection – After applying, you'll book a friendly, judgment-free 30-minute chat with our team to discuss your goals and aspirations.
- Step 2: Building a Foundation – Over four weekly mentorship sessions, we get to know your skills, personality, and goals to create a profile that helps us match you with the right mentor.
- Step 3: Match With a Mentor – We carefully connect you with a mentor who understands your unique journey. Mentors may share lived experiences or offer industry-specific guidance.
- Step 4: Working With Your Mentor – You'll work with your mentor monthly for 6 to 12 months, with pacing tailored to your needs and availability.
- Step 5: Ongoing Support – We check in occasionally to ensure your mentoring relationship is progressing and to offer any additional support you may need.
Our Promise: We empower you to bloom, embracing your intersectional identity and professional potential. You have the power to choose how you use our support and advice.
Hear from our mentees:
“Blossom’s support has been life-changing. Without them, I don’t know where I’d be today. They gave me the tools, the confidence, and the hope I needed to rebuild my life.”
