There are specific mentoring support programs aimed at assisting people with migration backgrounds, young people, or other disadvantaged groups. Here are some examples:

• "Start with a Friend": This program promotes the integration of people with migration backgrounds through individual tandem partnerships. Local mentors accompany newcomers in their daily lives, helping them find their way and supporting their social and professional integration. Partnerships are guided and supported for a specified period, depending on needs.

• "Culture Makes You Strong – Alliances for Education" (in the context of mentoring projects): Under this program, there are also funding opportunities for mentoring projects that aim at cultural education and integration. For example, projects can be funded in which children and young people are supported by mentors to gain access to cultural opportunities.

• "ArbeiterKind.de": This program targets first-generation college students and provides mentoring to support educational questions and successful transitions into the professional world. Although primarily focused on education, it also promotes the integration of students with migration backgrounds.

• BMBF Mentoring Program for Women in STEM Careers: This program is specifically aimed at supporting women in STEM careers (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). While it does not specifically target cultural integration, it offers women with migration backgrounds the opportunity to build professional networks and integrate into these fields through mentoring.

These programs offer different approaches and target groups but all share the common goal of contributing to integration and personal development through mentoring.
