Volunteer Mentor
 
 
Face-to-face support for young people.
 
 
 
Responsibilities -- Mentors are like ‘co-pilots’. The ‘pilots’ are the young people who often find it difficult to express what they really want to say. They are the ones who have to make decisions about their own life, but the mentor helps them by providing an opportunity to think and gain an independent viewpoint. This gives them greater self-confidence and the skills to begin taking control of their lives.
 
 
 
Qualifications -- The best mentors usually don’t realise that they have the skills required. They are people who offer encouragement and have a commitment to helping young people develop. Training is provided and will include issues around values, empathy and safety. Practical suggestions are provided and expenses are paid. Mentoring will be a process where you have an opportunity to help someone else overcome a difficulty in their life.
