MENTORING

Does Mentoring Really Work? Literally, you can make all the difference in the world to a young person. Mentoring is recognised as the most effective means of reaching out to young people today and giving them a new sense of purpose and direction.		What is the Commitment? The programme runs for twelve months and you are asked to spend two hours a week with your mentee. You choose together what to do; the idea is to have a rewarding and fun time.
What Does a Mentor Do? You are there to help a young person by: Supporting them through an     on-going one-to-one relationship Being a positive role model Building a relationship by planning     and participating in activities     together Striving for mutual respect Motivating and building self-esteem Helping set goals and realising     them Being a "real" friend		Do I Need a Professional Qualification? Definitely NOT. You are there as a friend to encourage, not as a counsellor. You just need a passion to help young people. What's in it for You The programme obviously aims to help young people but without exception mentors say it is one of the most rewarding experiences of their life. Many learn as much about themselves as they do the young people they support. making the difference
