Youth Mentoring

Mentors can make a dramatic difference to a young person's life.  They work voluntarily, on a one to one basis, with the youngsters. Their role is simply to motivate and encourage their assigned youngster, whilst building a relationship, aiming to increase confidence and self-esteem and so enabling them to make more appropriate choices as they approach their adult life. Our experience has demonstrated that the participants respond positively to volunteer mentors and develop strong bonds with them. The voluntary ethos of the scheme has a definite advantage as the young people soon learn that their mentor spends time with them genuinely, because they want to, not because they get paid.

We are actively seeking volunteers to become mentors for young people on our existing programmes.  It is a big commitment.  As a mentor you would meet a young person on a weekly basis in an informal environment - cafe, sports centre etc - that you choose together, and we ask that you give at least a year to a young person.  However, we equally committed to you.  We will provide you with comprehensive training, and will be there to support you during the highs and lows of your mentoring experience.
