At CampusKey, we don’t just offer student accommodation, we create a lifestyle. A big part of that experience is the CampusKey Mentor Programme, a student leadership initiative designed to support, uplift and connect students across all our locations.
Whether it’s helping a new student settle in, planning community-building events, or leading wellness initiatives, our mentors are the heart of our vibrant campus communities.
What Is the CampusKey Mentor Programme?
The CampusKey Mentor Programme is an annual leadership opportunity open to returning students who want to get more involved in residence life. Our mentors are passionate student leaders who represent the CampusKey brand, foster inclusive communities, and drive meaningful impact through peer-to-peer connection.
Each mentor takes on one of seven specialised portfolios, allowing them to focus on areas they’re most passionate about, whether that’s mental health, academics, or creating social media content. This isn’t just a great opportunity for students to make a difference, it’s also a powerful leadership development experience that looks great on any CV.
Meet the 7 CampusKey Mentor Portfolios
Each mentor portfolio addresses a specific area of student life, ensuring that all our residents are supported, engaged, and inspired throughout their CampusKey journey:
1. Student Wellbeing
These mentors champion mental health and emotional wellness. From mindfulness sessions to chill check-ins, they make sure everyone has someone to talk to and a space to feel heard.
2. Sports & Wellness
Focused on movement and motivation, this portfolio brings energy to our campuses. Mentors organise sports challenges, weekend workouts, and promote healthy living.
3. Academic Support
Because success starts with support, these mentors help fellow students stay on top of their studies through group sessions, exam tips, and motivation during crunch time.
4. Social & Events
The heartbeat of the community. These mentors plan our most exciting events, themed parties, games nights, welcome-back socials, and everything in between.
5. Kindness Factory (Social Responsibility)
This portfolio is all about giving back. Mentors lead community impact initiatives like donation drives, volunteering days, and awareness campaigns that make a difference outside our walls.
6. Brand Ambassador
Living the CK lifestyle and loving it. These mentors help bring our brand to life on and off campus, proudly representing what CampusKey stands for and initiate marketing initiatives.

TikTok trends? Insta-worthy moments? These mentors have it covered. They capture and share real stories from our spaces to inspire and engage students across our digital platforms.
Why It Matters: Real Impact, Real Growth
The Mentor Programme doesn’t just benefit the mentors, it improves student life across CampusKey. Our mentors are an essential support system, helping new and r residents feel seen, heard, and included.
And for those in the programme, it’s a chance to build leadership skills, gain experience in event planning, content creation, community building, and more. Many of our former mentors have gone on to exciting career paths, using their CK mentor experience as a springboard.
