First Minister Mentoring Opportunity – Promotional Pack
Scotland’s First Minister is looking to mentor a young woman (or a young person who identifies as female) to
encourage all of Scotland to use mentoring to make Scotland a more equal country.
There are thousands of young people out there who could benefit from this experience. You could be the one to
help us find a mentee for the First Minister and change their life in the process.
To help you promote the opportunity, we’ve created a variety of useful documents, copy and social media posts. You
are free to use this content in any way you like. If you have any questions at all please contact June Osborne
([email protected]) or call 0131 313 2488.
Young Scot is committed to ensuring the applicants come from diverse backgrounds, ages, and geographies, and that
we receive applications from young people with additional support needs. The Scottish Government will meet all
reasonable expenses, including childcare and travel.
Posters and Digital Signs (click to download)
If you have digital display board or notice board that will be seen by young people there are two different versions of
a poster for you to use. You can download them all from youngscot.net

During the mentoring programme, you will have at least four private meetings with the First Minister. There may be
additional opportunities depending on your interests, and the opportunity to work with the media. The mentoring
experience will take place between June 2017 and March 2018.
The First Minister said:
“If we’re serious about reducing gender inequality and creating the next generation of women leaders, it’s up to us
as women to ensure this happens. Mentoring a young woman is a highly effective way to enhance her career
chances – giving her the confidence and knowledge to strive for her ambitions.
To apply visit Young.scot/FirstMentor. Applications close on 30th May 2017.
