Mentor/Befriender

LINKnet Mentoring
VO67431

Through a range of support structures and services, LINKnet aims to provide a quality experience for volunteer mentors/befrienders and successful outcomes for mentees. Your commitment as a mentor/befriender will be two or three hours per week, spread over a day or two for a few months, not exceeding six months. One to one mentoring is found to be one of the most effective methods of people development . Befriending is a rewarding, personal gratification experience.

Experience required

Interest in helping people through transfer of skills/experience. You do not need to be a specialised person to support others. Mentors/befrienders come from all walks of life and all they have in common is a willingness to give something back to the community and empower others who are in need for help.
