Mentor, mentee, volunteer, or partner. Every route below takes a few minutes, and we come back to you by email either way.
Founders, executives, ambassadors, academics and public leaders ready to spend a Saturday walking alongside the next generation. Three conversations, one morning, no preparation required. Free, and no strings attached: you sign up one edition at a time.
Mentor sign-up →Bachelor’s, Master’s, or early-career professionals with curiosity about other cultures and international perspectives. Open to applicants aged 18 and over.
Mentee application →Logistics, route scouting, photography and communications. A few hours around each hike rather than a standing commitment, and the best way to see how the programme really works.
Email us →Chambers, universities and corporate partners building global-ready leaders with us. See SMC’s partners on smcmentorship.org.
Email us →Because cohorts are curated rather than first-come-first-served, there is a gap between applying and hearing back, so here is the sequence.
Signing up takes about three minutes and commits you to one morning, not the season. If a date stops working, tell us and we move you to another edition.
Anything not covered here, just email us.
Yes, entirely. The programme runs on volunteer time and is designed to be inexpensive enough to stand on its own, so a Saturday morning is all it asks of you.
Anyone curious is welcome. Mentees are typically bachelor’s or master’s students and early-career professionals, and curiosity matters more than enrolment status.
The mornings run in English. Around 60% of every cohort is international, so English is the working language throughout.
A comfortable walking pace is all it takes. Routes are flat, paved, and about 5 km across three segments with breaks in between. Tell us about any access needs on the form and we adapt.
Cohorts are small, so editions do fill. We keep your application on file and offer you the next available morning, so you never need to reapply.
Talk to us. We take partnership support for logistics and venues, but access to the programme is never sold; cohorts stay curated on merit and mix.
If you are unsure which of the four routes above fits you, email us and we will point you to the right one.
For press, partnership proposals, or questions about bringing an SMC chapter to another European country, email is the fastest channel.
One Saturday morning. Three conversations. A community that already spans 40 countries.
