Youth Mentoring
Members of the community are recruited and trained to provide
volunteer one to one support to young people in the 9 - 25 age group
and empower them to make choices that will enable them to fulfil their
potential.
Once trained and police checked, a mentor is matched to a young
person who has self referred, or has been referred to the scheme from
another agency. The match is based on mutual interests or skills and
an introductory session is held to ensure both mentor and young
person are happy with the match. The pair will then arrange to meet
each week and work together on goals that they agree will help the
young person. Examples include, learning a new skill through going
together to an evening class, finding out about college courses or
taking up a sport.
