Volunteer Mentor

Our aim is to help young people unlock their potential, no matter their circumstances. Working together with our inspiring mentor community and partners, we can help young people to realise their skills and progress onto a positive destination. Our vision is for all young people to experience equality of education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances. Every young person has enormous talent, however care-experienced pupils and other young people identified to us by their schools may be struggling to engage with their education. We aim to support many young people including young carers, asylum seekers or those who have suffered significant family bereavement or disruption at home.

Why mentoring Matters: MCR mentoring transforms lives. It is our aim that every young person should have the same opportunities and life chances as every other young person, irrespective of their background. There’s amazing potential in the young people we support, potential we wish to see nurtured so they can thrive. Mentors make a life-changing difference by simply spending one hour a week listening and being there for their young person. By helping to build their confidence and nurture self-esteem, MCR mentors empower their young person to unlock their future.
