What does Youth Mentoring offer your organisation?
Youth Mentoring is a free service which gives your organisation access to a wide range of media mentors who can offer project-based support to your young people.
Youth Mentoring enables disadvantaged 13 to 25-year-olds to get expert advice and guidance on their projects from a media professional giving them the opportunity to learn new skills, build their confidence and realise their full potential.
We have a dedicated team in place to take care of all of the hard work free of charge to your organisation. We work with the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation (MBF) to ensure we deliver high quality mentoring which adheres to good practice standards. We also make sure that the scheme meets all health and safety and confidentiality requirements.
How does it work?
Youth Mentoring is designed to be flexible and provide a range of options including one-to-one and group mentoring with a choice of short or long term commitment.
The Youth Mentoring team will take care of mentor selection and training, Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checking and support, as well as matching mentors to youth-led projects.
