Volunteer Mentor with MCR Pathways

MCR Pathways
VO102807

About us: MCR Pathways is a national, award-winning mentoring programme. The MCR Charity was established in 2007 to support young people, including those who are care-experienced, or have experienced disadvantage, to help them realise their full potential through education.
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 an equality of education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances.

About the opportunity: At the core of the MCR Pathways programme is 1:1 relationship-based mentoring focused on building confidence, belief and self-esteem. Mentors spend an hour each week listening to and encouraging a young person in their school. You will be matched with a young person based on similar hobbies and interests, background, role model, career path and personality.

We ask for 1 hour per week, during term time only. You will be supported throughout the whole journey from registration, to being matched and beyond. Minimum age is 21 years old.

Experience required

We encourage people to volunteer who have a genuine interest in working with young people, being able to offer a listening ear and the ability to build a mentoring relationship with a young person within a school environment.
