LIFT

Globally 130 million people are displaced – how can we turn a crisis into economic prosperity for all?

LIFT connects those who can help – with advice, resources, networks, skills, experience, job options – to those needing help. Connections that help to make a positive benefit for our whole community.

Thanks to our partnership with the Rotary Club of London, we can connect our members needing support to enter the job market to Rotary Club members with matching experience & expertise.

How can you succeed when there are so many barriers to overcome, and even attempting to enter the job market seems like the scariest thing you’ve ever done?

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

We are excited to introduce our LIFT Mentorship Program, developed with the Rotary Club of London, designed to connect Mentors and Mentees via a user-friendly interface.

How does LIFT work?

This program will facilitate three one-hour meetings over a span of three months, allowing for focused and effective mentorship sessions.

1. Month 1: The first meeting aims to establish a rapport between the Mentor and Mentee, discuss the Mentee’s goals, and create an action plan for the upcoming months.
2. Month 2: The second meeting will be a check-in to evaluate the progress made towards the goals set during the first meeting, and make any necessary adjustments to the action plan.
3. Month 3: The final meeting will be an overall review of the program, discussions on the progress made, experiences shared, and plans for future development.

What do I have to do?
