Volunteer Mentor

MCR Pathways is an award winning mentoring programme which has been supporting young people since 2007. Their vision is that every care-experienced and disadvantaged young person gets the same education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances as every other young person. Their aim is to help young people unlock their potential, no matter their circumstances.

MCR Mentors come from all walks of life and commit to supporting a young person in school for a minimum of one year, ideally more. Mentors meet with their young person at their school for just one hour per week and the difference this makes to their lives is transformational. No qualifications are needed to get involved. Training is provided and support is available throughout the mentoring journey.

Mentors can be supporting students(s) from one or more of the following:



  • Alloa Academy

  • Alva Academy

  • Lornshill Academy


Experience required

No specific skills or experiences are required. MCR Pathways provides full training and support.
