Become a CEDAR Mentor!
CEDAR Mentoring for young people aims to equip young Europeans to achieve success through exchange, professional development, and entrepreneurship training by introducing them to inspiring role models with whom they share cultural or faith background. CEDAR Mentors work with young people to raise their aspirations and enhance future life prospects by providing professional development opportunities and through sharing their own professional- and life experiences.
The CEDAR Mentoring Programme has piloted Masterclass and group mentoring sessions in the Netherlands and the UK, has organised an Inspiration Day in Brussles and will be launching in Germany in summer 2010.
CEDAR Mentoring in the UK
Reaching into mosques, madrassahs and schools with a high proportion of Muslims, the UK CEDAR Mentoring Programme takes [an] “innovative approach synergis[ing] the special connections many young Muslims have with their local mosque with the wealth of professional experience of CEDAR mentors, helping to provide a learning experience that young Muslims can really engage in.” (Asim Siddiqui, Can madrasahs bridge the education gap for British Muslims?)  5-174x234.jpg)
CEDAR encourages Muslim professionals become Mentors. As a CEDAR Mentor you can contribute to inspiring young Muslims and non-Muslims across Europe to open their minds to their potential; an experience as rewarding for the Mentor as the Mentee.
“I really enjoyed working with the students … a great feeling”, Shamez Alibhai, CEDAR mentor (Partner at Cheyne Captital).
