ASC Mentoring 2025 – Mentee Application

Thank you for your interest in the Action for Stammering Children 2025-2026 mentoring programme.

The ASC mentoring scheme is now in its fourth year and is open to young people who stammer aged between 18 and 25 who are embarking on the transition into higher education or the world of work. This unique scheme is fully funded by the charity and offers young people who stammer one-to-one mentoring with a professional adult who stammers over a six-month period. Applications are open to all UK residents.

The ASC mentoring scheme provides an opportunity to work towards your goals and aspirations with the support and guidance of a mentor who stammers, who you will be paired with for the duration of the programme. If you are about to enter higher education, are a student considering your career options, or are actively looking for your first job, the ASC mentoring programme may be for you!

Applications are now open for the third cohort of young people who stammer. The programme will kick off in October 2025 and conclude in April 2026. During this time, you will meet online with your mentor a minimum of six times.

• The programme launches with a training session for mentors and mentees on 24th October 2025.
• A mid-programme review will take place on 28th January 2026, giving you the opportunity to reconnect with other mentees.
• The programme will conclude with a group evaluation session and closing celebratory event on 29th April 2026.

If you are selected, you will be expected to take part in all sessions.
