Mentoring

Mentoring with young people works by building a consistent, trusting relationship where they feel listened to, valued, and supported. A mentor acts as a positive role model, providing guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to talk through challenges, explore goals, and develop new skills. Through regular sessions, young people gain confidence, improve their self-esteem, and build resilience in managing life’s ups and downs. Mentoring also helps them to develop stronger communication and social skills, make healthier choices, and feel more motivated in possibility of education or personal development. Over time, these positive outcomes can lead to greater independence, stronger aspirations for the future, and an increased sense of belonging and well-being.
