MCR Pathways is launching its life-changing mentoring programme at schools in Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch and Milngavie. Volunteer just one hour a week to make a profound difference in a young person’s life.
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?
The MCR team and your school’s Pathways Coordinator are here to help support your relationship every step of the way. We provide ongoing training and resources to help you encourage your young person to be their best.
To sign, up we ask that you watch a short video and tell us a bit about yourself in preparation for your one-to-one.
After this you’ll take part in a one-to-one conversation. This helps us make an inspired match between our mentors and young people!
Next, there’s a Training Session where you’ll learn mentoring tips and essential information.
To make the best match, we take the information from the one-to-one and find the young person you can help most with your unique life experiences.
Mentors meet their mentee in-person for just one hour a week, where you can decide together how best to use the time!
MCR mentoring transforms lives. Scotcen, the Scottish arm of Britain’s leading independent social research institute NatCen, found that 81.6% of mentored care-experienced young people leave school to a positive destination (full-time employment, further education, or higher education) compared to 59.8% of care-experienced non-mentored school leavers.
There’s amazing potential in our young people, potential that’s often hampered because of difficult life experiences. Mentors bridge talent with opportunity. By spending just one hour a week listening and being there for your young person you will empower them to find, grow and use their talents.
Everything you need to know about your mentoring journey.
