One Million Mentors: Mentors needed in Cardiff schools this September / October 2024
Would you like to give advice, increase confidence and provide a number of opportunities to a young person in Cardiff?
Would you want to support a young person’s future and career goals?
This September and October, One Million Mentors are setting up their 2nd year of mentoring programs doing just that in secondary schools. These schools are:

What is 1MM?
1MM mentoring empowers young people to become the best version of themselves: building relationships - free of assumption and judgement - where they benefit from another’s experience and perspective and can think bigger, find their own answers and take the next meaningful step into their future.
We recruit, train and deploy volunteer mentors, matching them with mentees and providing high quality support to both so that they are well prepared and can have an effective and impactful mentoring relationship. Our mentoring is one to one, for young people aged 14-25 years old, for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year.
All we ask of our volunteers is to sign up to our platform at www.1mm.org.uk complete some mandatory online training.

Socials: We are on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn to find out on the latest news and powerful stories that we encounter everyday at 1MM.
We also have our own podcasts to listen to! Here we discuss the mentoring journey from both mentors and mentees from 1MM!
School programmes: This would mean that commitment to the programme is important in order to meet with your mentee. As this is a school programme, a timetable will also be created to ensure your mentor sessions are on school sites for students and where teachers are available to supervise in - person and online sessions.
