Mentor a Young Leader

How does it work?

Young Leaders is designed by young people for young people facing the challenges of the 21st century. It links fresh young minds with projects of social value.

Our aims

Young Leaders aims to be a progressive workplace where people are freed from conventional limitations to explore their talents guided by what moves them: the urge to make the world a better place. We aim to unleash the power of this visionary generation by connecting them with work opportunities in social value projects. At scale.

The story so far

In 2020 we formed Young Leaders. Within two months we had recruited 30 young adults under 25 and deployed them to work on our social impact projects in wellbeing, workplace development and placemaking. From coding, film production, conducting sales calls, devising customer manuals to researching markets for products, our Young Leaders work flexibly and remotely 25 hours a week, supported by our Ethos Partners as work and wellbeing mentors. The Young Leaders rapidly took to our work platform, fostered under our core guiding principles of trust, collaboration and moderation of self interest.

Volunteer mentors are providing wisdom and guidance to our Young Leaders – and other partners.  Our Wellbeing Workplace supports volunteers to help deliver social impact through our projects through a two way process called Value Exchange. In exchange for your time and expertise we will guide you through an affirmative process – one that helps you find your “Why?” and helps you realise your personal goals to give back and build social impact. 

Along with Ethos CEO and founder Rob Pye, Annabelle has been influential in shaping the Ethos Work Platform that supports Young Leaders and their mentors.

“The energy, open-mindedness, fun, kindness and desire to engage with meaningful work that I found in Kishan, and all our Young Leaders cohort, has demonstrated beyond all we could have previously imagined that the Ethos way of working is not only possible but more importantly is preferable. I don’t doubt that any of our Young Leaders, given the freedom, responsibility and accountability they find through their work with Ethos can bring about similar insights and learning for the future of any organisation.”
