What is Mentoring?
More and more young people are getting involved in mentoring. So what is it and how might it help you?
Many schools have mentoring programmes where adults from business or the community volunteer to become mentors to pupils. They support you by listening one to one, offering encouragement, information and friendship.
What does a Mentor do?
- Listens to you and offers support
- Helps you organise your time
- Shares experience of work
- Helps you with your studies
- Helps with anxieties or difficulties
- Talks to you as a trusted adult
- Helps with relationships and self esteem
What’s in it for you?
- You can be yourself
- You will receive individual attention
- As long as you are open and honest with your mentor it could change your life!
When and Where?
- In school hours
- In a community setting out of school hours
- See your mentor every week for up to an hour

What Mentees have told us:
“It’s a relief to always have the option to speak to my mentor, it gives me peace of mind for when stuff may get difficult in which a calm, level headed unbiased response will help me calm down and not overthink if times do get tough.”
“It gives me a chance to be myself and be away from my classmates. I have learned about respect, listening, concentration and focus, team work, patience, standing still and being calm. I have learned that improvement comes with practice, that I can have an ability to bounce back and not be scared of things that aren’t real.
I know my mentor is there for me to share my feelings.
