Alumnae News |
Our mentoring programme, which was previously only open for peer-to-peer alumna help, is now being extended to allow those in the Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth to benefit too. It has been renamed LEH Elevate: Raising Up the Next Generation of Bold Alumnae.
Between them our alumnae represent an incredible range of industries, roles and university know-how, alongside a shared experience of LEH, sisterhood and community.
This upgrade to our mentoring programme has been made possible thanks to the safeguarding capability offered by our alumnae community platform Holles Connect, which has been developed by one of our own – techpreneur Kate Jillings, Class of 1998, and founder of the software programme ToucanTech, which powers our alumnae website.
In order to fulfil our safeguarding obligation to pupils, Sixth Form mentoring will be carried out exclusively online. All communications with current pupils will take place in writing via the Holles Connect messaging function. These conversations will be routinely monitored by our Careers Team.
Hundreds of our alumnae have already agreed to offer their services as mentors to fellow alumnae when they first signed up to Holles Connect. In the next few weeks, we will inviting all of them to update their preferences to ensure they are still happy to be a mentor and to check specifically if they are willing to opt in to work with Sixth Form pupils. We are also encouraging all our alumnae to sign up to act as mentors.
If you’d like to find out more information, please visit our LEH Elevate page on Holles Connect:

We will be launching the re-vamped alumna-to-alumna part of the mentoring programme next term, so watch this space for more information. We are hoping to invite some of our alumnae who’ve had first-hand experience of mentoring to be guest speakers at a training/information session in the Spring, so please contact us if you’d be interested in volunteering by emailing alumnae@lehs.org.uk.
