Idea in brief

Mitt Livs Val offers a study-motivating program where students from universities and colleges become mentors and role models for newly arrived and unaccompanied young people.

Problem

Mitt Livs Val meets young people who have immigrated at the age of 13 or later since this target group has the toughest time at school. Succeeding at school is the single most important factor for young people's development and future, and unfinished high school provides significantly less chance of further studies, establishment on the employment market and a stable income.

Solution

Mitt Livs Val offers a study-motivating program where students from universities and colleges become mentors and role models for newly arrived and unaccompanied young people. The mentors offer support regarding the Swedish educational system, how to set goals and help increase young people's self-esteem and self-confidence.
