Mentor Young People

We'll match a young person to you based on shared interests, career goals, life experience and personality. It does wonders for your self-esteem and mental health to support young people who just want a friendly person to speak to. You'll become the young person's highlight of the week, their reason to come to school and share a bond with them that will have a positive impact of their life forever. The influence you have on them can not be underestimated.   MCR mentoring transforms lives. Scotcen, the Scottish arm of Britain’s leading independent social research institute NatCen, found that 81.6% of mentored care-experienced young people leave school to a positive destination (full-time employment, further education, or higher education) compared to 59.8% of care-experienced non-mentored school leavers. There’s amazing potential in our young people - potential that’s often hampered because of difficult life experiences. Mentors bridge talent with opportunity. By spending just one hour a week listening and being there for your young person you will empower them to find, grow and use their talents.
