Vygo, the brainchild of Joel Di Trapani, Steven Hastie, and Ben Hallett, is a pioneering EdTech startup that aims to champion all learners and revolutionize student support. At the core of their vision is the belief that every student should have access to the support they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. To bring this vision to life, Vygo has created The Mentor Academy, a not-for-profit organization that offers a free online mentor training course for all learners.

The Mentor Academy, in collaboration with a global Academic Council comprising industry professionals from renowned universities, including the University of Minnesota and RMIT, provides comprehensive mentorship training. This dynamic course enables aspiring mentors to build their competence, boost their confidence, and develop essential skills such as communication and conflict management. By investing $100k into The Mentor Academy project over the next three years, Vygo aims to empower 100,000 future change-makers and facilitate equitable education, connection, and growth.
