Be a Volunteer Y’s Girls Mentor

How does it work?
You will be assigned to a local Project Co-ordinator who will tell you more about Y’s Girls mentoring, as well as discuss your interests and availability. 

You will then be matched with a young person as your mentee.   As a mentor aged 18+, you will be offered a full package of ongoing training and support for your personal and professional development, to help you and the young person get the most out of the mentoring process.

• Over a 12-month period, you will regularly meet with your young person and work together to identify achievable goals to focus on.  These goals should empower the young person, building their resilience and enabling them to lead fulfilling lives

• As a mentor, you can also help the young person to access activities and services, and try new things. These sessions also offer an informal environment for the young person to discuss anything that might be worrying them, from family and personal relationships, to lifestyle and education

Expenses reimbursed: Out of pocket expenses are reimbursed.
