Our mentoring programme works with young people, across the country. We train and match volunteer mentors with a young person to meet for just one hour a week in High school and provide an encouraging, listening ear.  Mentors support their young person to focus in school and build their confidence and aspirations. Mentoring takes place in school, during term time but, in addition to the impact on young people, our volunteers also gain so much, such as personal growth, enhanced leadership and communication skills, boosted morale, and a sense of fulfilment. We believe that this is something you might find of interest and hope you might help us reach even more mentors in our community.

‍

Our aim is to inspire potential mentors by highlighting the diverse range of individuals who are already making a difference within the MCR Pathways community. Our information leaflets and posters address common concerns and misconceptions that often prevent people from registering: the time required (whether they can fit it into their work schedules), concerns about life experience (being too old or young), worries about the skills required (lacking experience or qualifications), and doubts about the impact of mentoring (whether mentoring actually has a positive impact). If you would like to sign up, visit our website where you're invited to watch a short information session, or one of our team could come to your centre and deliver an information session, to share all the positive outcomes that being a mentor can bring.
