Youth Mentor

About us

MCR Pathways works with its inspiring mentor community and partners to help Care Experienced young people realise their skills and progress towards positive destinations. Our vision is for all young people to experience equality of education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances, which we achieve through our school-based mentoring programme.

About the role

Mentors meet with their young person for one hour each week in school, providing a consistent opportunity for the young person to focus on their future, discuss any concerns or simply share thoughts and experiences. A mentor serves as an added source of support -someone there to listen, encourage and help young people get the best out of school. This includes increasing their confidence, boosting qualifications, gaining meaningful experiences, and increasing their career options after school. We believe that every young person deserves a trusted adult for guidance and support. By becoming a volunteer mentor, you have the power to make a difference in the lives of young people.
