Going from school to college is a challenge sometimes.
Bondfire will match you up with an experienced professional (mentor) based on your interests and goals. Mentors answer your questions and work with you to help you become your best self. They can answer questions about college programs, studying abroad, career paths, personal development questions, or anything else you want to ask about.

Hear from our Mentees
This programme taught me to focus on what I have, and how to learn and improve my weaknesses. The mentors in this programme are very kind and guided me throughout this time. It also encouraged me to have a better view of myself. Thank you Bondfire!
Through the meetings and activities, I started to be able to look at things differently and solve my problems more thoughtfully. In meeting with Bondfire mentors from different parts of the world, I realised that there is an infinite amount of opportunities and possibilities for me to learn and explore. I am thankful that they gave me good advice and shared their experiences to help me out with my journey.
It was a great experience speaking with mentors from overseas and learning about their background. I also got to ask questions about courses in universities that I didn't know and also learnt about their life over there.
During my Bondfire mentorship cycle, my mentor shared with me information regarding different career pathways that I can look into and his personal experience and journey, which allowed me to have a wider perspective of possible plans and gain insight into the jobs that he did previously. Other than my assigned mentor, I was also allowed the opportunity to speak with the other mentors in Bondfire if I wanted to explore other industries, which I really liked as I'm still indecisive and exploring different possible pathways.
I've learnt how to properly manage my time and know what are my interests and what I'm going to do in the future.
I liked how the mentors are very friendly to the mentees. It is very useful for those who are very lost and don’t know what to study in the future.
Bondfire was a program I joined during the end of high school, and through it I was able to listen to other people's experience and get a clearer view of how my future would look like. It was a really great experience and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family!
Being a part of the Bondfire mentorship was an amazing experience. I had an awesome mentor who gave me not only college and career advice but also life advice. My mentor even connected me to a large network of professionals, allowing me to learn from a lot of different people which helped me narrow down my future career path. Even though I am still not sure what I want to do, Bondfire definitely helped me figure out what I don't want to do. One of the best things about this mentorship is that all the sessions depend on your mentor so you can commit as much or as little as you want.
My experience with Bondfire has been great overall. While there have been times that I missed some activities, I still gained a lot of new knowledge on how to survive in the adult world. The mentors are all very kind people and they give good advice and pass down various skills for us.
I had a great experience with the Bondfire programme since I wasn't really sure about what I really want to pursue after finishing high school education. Right off the bat, the mentors are very approachable, they would do anything just to answer my questions and lend me a helping hand. I'd say the bond and chemistry between mentors and mentees is amazing, and the experience speaks for itself.
