Description

• MCR Pathways knows that all young people are talented. However, South Lanarkshire's care-experienced young people and other pupils face challenges beyond their control that make it more difficult for them to succeed. These young people are in our communities, but we don’t always see their struggles. As a community, we can change this. MCR recruits and trains volunteer mentors who are matched with a young person based on personality and career aspirations. Mentors meet with their young person at their school for just one hour a week and provide a compassionate, listening ear. You can #ShareAnHour with a young person each week and help them to realise their true potential. MCR Mentors: • Build a relationship, improving the self-esteem of their young person • Help their young people discover their own passion for learning & achieving • Empower their young people to overcome the challenges thrown at them Mentor a young person in a school near you. When you volunteer just one hour a week, you will help them realise their potential and build new listening and coaching skills too! Education is the key to unlocking our young people’s potential. MCR’s volunteer mentors are supported every step of the way as they guide their young person onto a positive pathway. Organisation aims and objectives MCR Pathways is national, school-based mentoring programme. MCR Pathways works in secondary schools throughout the country. The programme supports 3,500+ young people each week. MCR’s vision is that every care-experienced young person and pupil who would benefit from support gets the same education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances as every other young person. MCR is growing nationally with support and commitment from both Local and National Government.

We all need that person who believes in us! Ysort-It is a Youth Organisation that covers all of West Dunbartonshire. Volunteer Mentors are required for its Intandem Programme. Intandem is Scotland’s National Mentoring Programme and is funded by Inspiring Scotland and the Robertson’s Trust. Intandem supports care experienced children and young people aged between 8 and 14 at point of referral. Namely, Intandem supports children that live under a Compulsory Supervision Order (CS0) or are living in Kinship Care. For children and young people to thrive and have a bright future, they need one constant adult. Someone who truly inspires and believes in them. Without the support of a Volunteer Mentor, tragically some of the children in our programme would not have a supportive adult like this in their lives. You can truly make a life changing difference! And the reason we know this, is because our young people tell us. You - · Volunteer Mentors must be aged 18 and over. We have mentors from all ages! Every age group has something to offer. · You must be able to commit to spending one hour a week with the person the support. · You must care about young people and want them to have positive outcomes. · Believe like us there should be no barriers to what young people in Scotland can achieve. What we can provide you with - · Comprehensive training and support provided by our dedicated Mentor Support Worker. · Travel expenses. · An activity budget to do activities such as taking a young person to the cinema. · Fantastic facilities at our Base where you can chose to meet your young person. For example you can bake or play Playstation together. · Fantastic work experience, particularly for anyone seeking a career in Health and Social Care or Education.

Volunteer Mentor

At MCR, we know that there is amazing potential and talent in all young people, regardless of their home life and circumstances. Bur for many, that potential has yet to be discovered. Life experience has knocked the confidence out of some, firmly locking away those seeds of aspiration and hope. It is our aim to uncover, nurture, and develop the skills and capabilities of our most disadvantaged young people. We bridge talent with opportunity through relationship focused mentoring. We're looking for mentors to #BeTheBridge for the young people of Anderson High School. All that's required is one hour per week and a desire to help a young person. Building a positive relationship is based on non-judgemental listening and encouragement. It's about turning up consistently, for no other reason than you care. When one person mentors, two lives are changed. Our mentors help realise the full potential of their young person and empower them with the confidence and belief to make it happen. Mentoring is creating a wave of positive change, impacting our schools, community and country.
