1 in 3 young people experience some kind of cyberbullying
University of Plymouth Students' Union are delighted to announce that we have trained 99 students to become Senior Cybermentors this academic year and they have volunteered an amazing 3312 hours to help and support young people across the country. In recognition of this brilliant contribution and the work of student volunteers, the Cybermentors Project here at Plymouth won the New Project Award at the 2010 UPSU Volunteer Awards!

CyberMentors support young people who are experiencing online bullying, through the use of a very clever anti bullying website. All CyberMentoring takes place from the comfort of your own PC.
Become a Senior CyberMentor
Being a Senior CyberMentor Volunteer is a fantastic way to give back to your community through a pioneering and new way to Volunteer. This is Online Volunteering, or Digital Volunteering as we call it. All you need to become a Senior CyberMentor is passion and empathy for young people. You need to be aged between 18-25 and you need regular access to the internet. You also need to be able to give us around 2 hours of your time each week for a minimum of 4 months. We’ll give you first class training, a fabulous reference and you’ll join an army of other Senior CyberMentors all over the UK, who are, right now, helping to change the lives of young people affected by bullying and discrimination forever.
The next training session here at Plymouth is planned for the first term of the next academic year so keep checking for info! To find out all the details, contact the Volunteer Department.
