What is a Mentor?

In short, our volunteer mentors help young people to realise their full potential.

Mentors spend an hour each week listening to and encouraging a young person in their school. The relationship that develops is what makes the difference. Can you help a young person to build their confidence and discover their potential? 

Mentors and young people are carefully matched based on their likes, personality and life-experiences. Everyone is different, so we look for mentors from all walks of life. When one person mentors, two lives are changed.

I like having my mentor to speak to about anything. He’s helped me to identify my strengths and supported me with my career options and future plans.

My mentor is very understanding and it's good to have someone to talk to. She feels more of a friend than a mentor. It feels like I've known her for a long time even though I haven't known her for that long.

For me, the best thing about having a mentor is that you have someone who's 100% on your side, and just wants to help and support you to do as well as you can. Having that support is really valuable and has helped me feel way less nervous about the process of leaving school and applying to college.
