Leadership Alumni: Mentoring Programme 2025
One of the many benefits of UKGBC’s leadership programmes is the opportunity to be a part of the Alumni network. Our programmes bring together professionals from all stages of their career and from across industry to take part in our unique programmes of leadership. Our action-oriented programmes provide a forum for sustainability leaders to grapple with the most critical issues that the sector is currently facing and will face in the future, while challenging participants to work collaboratively to address these.
This group continues to support each other post the completion of their programmes and gets a unique opportunity to meet with other alumni members outside their cohort too. The mentorship programme is one such platform. We kicked off the programme about 8 years ago and has helped many alumnus over its course.
Who should join?
Any UKGBC Leadership programme alumni can opt in as a mentee or a mentor. The mentor/mentee pool is comprised of everyone who has participated in the UKGBC Leadership programmes such as Future Leaders and Change Accelerator.
If for any reason there is an insufficient number or type mentor to match with a mentee or vice versa then that mentee will join a waiting list, and be notified as soon as an appropriate candidate becomes available.
Why join?
Each year, following graduation from the programme, we offer the opportunity for our leadership alumnus to be paired with a mentor to support them on their leadership journey. Every participant will be looking for something different in a mentoring relationship – from advising on achieving career goals, to support in their personal development.
How to join?
You can put yourself forward by filling in the form sent to you. In case the alumni email has missed your inbox reach out to us and we can resend it to you. We request you to make sure you include which programme you were a part of in the email. Through this form you are able to specify what kind of support you are looking for, and therefore what you wish to get out of this programme.

Following the initial 9 month programme, I was paired with a mentor from the UKGBC Leaders’ Network, who has been instrumental in helping me understand my personal impact, and how to maximise that.”
