ABOUT US
We all had a few life transitions in our early-20s' such as entering university, looking for internships, and starting the first full-time job. Recalling those experiences, it seems that all of a sudden, we were at the crossroads of our life, feeling lost and stressed. Luckily, we also recall during those difficult times, someone gave us a hand, providing valuable advice and helping us make important decisions.
BeWithU is a non-profit organization established as a force for good: to extend a hand to juniors who are seeking help, to provide support for students by connecting them with a mentor, like a big brother/sister, to accompany them in meeting transitional challenges -- from high school to university, from campus to workplace, from one country to another.
The year 2020 has been especially challenging for everyone due to the pandemic, given such unprecedented difficulties as health concerns, reduced social interactions, and unpredictable job markets. While providing guidance to undergraduates, BeWithU concurrently builds a network among all participants, so we can well support and connect with each other during this hard period and beyond.
