Mentoring Matters to North Ayrshire

First founded in 2007, MCR Pathways began expanding across Scotland in 2018 – launching in our first North Ayrshire school the following year. In 2020, the programme then expanded into a total of six schools in the region, helping young people across North Ayrshire to find, grow and use their talent.

Our volunteer mentors spend one hour a week listening to and encouraging their young person. The only qualification you need to be a mentor is the desire to help. Young people are matched with a mentor based on their personalities, interests and career aspirations. All young people are different and have different needs, so it’s important that our mentors come from all walks of life.

Role models make a life-changing difference to young people. Additionally, mentoring has been shown to make a powerful and positive impact on those who give their time and support.
