Become a Mentor
Psychological research found that when one explains study material to another, it reinforces their own understanding of the content ('The Protégé Effect'). As such, by becoming a Mentor, not only does will your Mentee benefit from your teaching, you can also enhance your own criminological learning.
​
If you are interested in a flexible, volunteering-based program that aims to help younger students navigating through coursework, or if you are interested in putting your criminological knowledge into practice, then apply to be a Mentor.
This initiative requires approximately one to two hours of your time per week.
​
Intakes are based on the UNSW trimester system and the application for Mentors commences near the start of each term, every term. You can keep updated about these deadlines by following our social media accounts.
