The Undergraduate ParliaMentors Programme is now accepting applications. This is a unique initiative aiming to nurture future politicians and community leaders from the three Abrahamic Faiths. Nine MPs from all three major parties each mentor a group of three students - one Christian, one Jewish and one Muslim - meeting with them on a monthly basis. With advice from their mentors, students develop projects focussing on themes such as political engagement and identity, whilst supported by key political NGOs and think tanks.

The programme
- Provides politics students from Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities with advice and support appropriate for a career in politics.
- Facilitates dialogue and joint working between young people of the three faith communities.
- Provides the participants with purposeful contact with the political world.
- Gives parliamentarians the chance to engage in depth with young people from faith communities.
- Establishes an alumni network of participants of the three faiths studying in the political field.
- Give future leaders the opportunity to understand their role in the political process.

I supposed it is worth adding that this opportunity is designed only for those whose religion allows them to participate in British political parties and think tanks.
