mentoring

follow-up during your stay

Throughout your project, you'll collaborate closely with two key individuals. Firstly, your project coordinator, based in our office, will be your main point of contact. They possess in-depth knowledge of your project and can assist you with paperwork, goal-setting, and aligning your expectations with your work. Responsible for managing your workload, they'll organize bi-weekly follow-up meetings for progress updates and feedback sessions. Additionally, as the ultimate decision-maker for your project, they'll make final calls when necessary.

Your mentor, the second contact person, operates outside the office but boasts a solid understanding of YFU as an organization. Serving as your initial friend or buddy, they reside in Mechelen, offering easy accessibility. Your mentor serves as a valuable resource for inquiries about life in Flanders and provides a supportive environment for discussing any work-related challenges that may arise. While no set meetings are scheduled with your mentor, they'll likely initiate contact more frequently at the outset of your project. 

In case of any issues, your mentor and project coordinator will convene to address and resolve concerns, ensuring your needs are met and your voice is heard.
