Do you want to help new international students settle and find their way in Utrecht? Becoming a mentor might just be the thing for you! ESN Utrecht is a foundation that is tries to helps exchange students as well as international bachelor/master students of the University, the University of Applied Science, the Art Academy and the Marnix academy during their stay in Utrecht. ESN Utrecht has an expansive social, cultural and athletic program to make sure every international student will have the time of their while studying in this city. We also aim to let international students get to know the city and integrate with its inhabitants, students as well as other citizens.

An important part of ESN Utrecht is the Mentor Programme. At the beginning of every semester, when the new international students arrive, the mentors help all the international students settle in and make them feel comfortable in their new environment. Especially during the first days, the assistance of a mentor, who knows the city can be a great help to anyone who is new to the country. Apart from practical advice, the mentor is also there to show the new students a good time. A mentorgroup is free to set up their own program, so you can discover all the bars together, or visit each others homes for dinner. A mentorgroup typically consists of 2 mentors and 6 new students (mentees). This way, the mentors and mentees can get to meet a group of people simultaneously and organize activities together.
