the companions. The education mentor program
Stand: 06.02.2023
As a volunteer educational mentor, you will be available to assist students from Erlangen. You support and accompany children and young people in school difficulties and development.
What is the educational mentoring program?
In the "diebegleiter" program, volunteer adults take on a mentorship. The main goal is to promote equal opportunities in education and integration. To this end, the educational sponsors support students from Erlangen in school topics and in personal development. The contents and the design of the sponsorship are discussed together and are based on the wishes of the godchild and the possibilities of the education sponsors.
What exactly it should be about, when, how often and how long you meet shape together with the godchild.
Whether school tutoring, career orientation or the arrival in Erlangen. They decide together with their godchildren. In an afternoon they do homework together, practice for a job interview or play soccer together or visit a museum. The design of the sponsorship is diverse - just like the abilities, difficulties and interests of you and your sponsored child.
During the entire sponsorship, the educational sponsors are accompanied and supported by the full-time coordinators. They are contact persons for all questions that concern them and offer support. Together we look for solutions for you and your child. This also includes further training or supervision.

FAQ
- As an educational sponsor, you can expect a flexible honorary position: How often and for how long you meet with your sponsored child, you determine together with your sponsored child.
- At regular sponsorship meetings, activities and occasions such as the summer festival or the Christmas party, you will meet other educational sponsors.
- Before it starts with a sponsorship, we consider together which sponsored child fits you. In our introductory seminar you will be well prepared for your task as an education sponsor. Supervision and further training are also always open to you.
In principle, there is no particular qualification that you must have. And of course you don't have to know all school subjects. If you are interested, just contact us. In a non-binding get-to-know conversation, we look together for possible skills that you can bring in a sponsorship.
For example, a*e Bildungspat*in can have good English skills and pass them on to a young person. Or you dare to help with the German homework or with the search for an internship. Together we will find a godchild who can learn from the skills you have brought with you.
If you want a sponsorship just write us an email or call us. Below you will find the contact and a contact form. We will gladly inform you!
An educational mentor can help you with school subjects that are difficult for you. Or support you in preparing for the exam. If you both want to, you can also do something together. For example, go cycling or to a museum. Your godmother can show you new perspectives and how you can reach your goal.
Yes! Because children and young people can learn from you and gain new perspectives. You have a reliable contact person who stands by your side. A good relationship develops between educational sponsor and sponsored child.
Variously. For example, do homework together, study for an exam, conduct a job interview or look for an internship.
Important is that you agree.
As a rule, you learn together for a school subject that causes difficulties. What is done can also change at any time. Of course, you are also allowed to go out for ice cream or do some other leisure activity.
Our experience shows that the education sponsors take about 1 year. In principle, however, there is no minimum or maximum duration. It can go as long or as short as both would like. A sponsorship can also be terminated if you no longer need support, or you no longer find time for professional or other reasons.
At our sponsorship meetings, we do actions or creative offers. We have also taken city trips and excursions with our sponsored children and educational patrons. We are always open for your ideas!
Should something not go well, we are available to you at any time. You can reach us by phone, by SMS or by mail. Together we will look for a solution.
