Changing lives through the power of mentoring.
Imagine a young person with incredible potential, but no one to help them see it. You can change that by sharing just one hour a week. Become a volunteer mentor with MCR Pathways.
Just one hour a week can ignite the vital spark in a young person. Help confidence, ambition, and positive futures to glow.
We match our volunteers with a young person who has similar interests, and we also consider factors such as career aspirations, background, and personality.
Mentoring takes place in the following schools: Falkirk High, Graeme High, Braes High, Grangemouth High and Bo'ness Academy. Each mentoring session lasts for 50 minutes (one school period) with the aim to build a relationship with the young person, to listen to them and support them to help them achieve their goals.
Experience required
We are looking for people who are willing to put the needs of a young person first and commit to meeting them for an hour a week. Anyone can become a mentor.
Travel details
Mentoring takes place at a secondary school or at one of our college campuses within Forth Valley.
Travel expenses
No travel expenses available.
Support
Training details
