Current opportunity
At MCR Pathways, we know that all young people are talented. However, our country’s care-experienced and disadvantaged young people 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.
We recruit and train 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.
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 disadvantaged young person in North Ayrshire. Volunteer just one hour a week you will help them realise their potential and grow your own skill set!
Education is the key to unlocking our young people’s potential. Our volunteer Mentors are supported every step of the way as they guide their young person onto a positive pathway.
