Summary
We are looking for people across the Thames Valley area Bucks, Berks and Oxfordshire and areas of Milton Keynes to become volunteer mentors for young people.Detailed description
This role would ideally suit people who are interested in supporting vulnerable young people through engaging with them and offering support and guidance.
Applications are especially welcome from people with 'lived experience', people who have overcome difficult situations in their younger lives and who have the ability to engage with young people who may be struggling with the same types of issues.
Volunteers need to be able to commit to meeting weekly with the young person and to be available to them by telephone and be able to travel to meet with them in person. Training will be provided as well as a mobile phone and any necessary equipment.
Volunteers have the chance to help young people overcome the difficulties they are facing in life and work with them to set goals for life.
Our volunteers come from many backgrounds, some using the role to gain experience to qualify for educational qualifications and others who want something meaningful to do in retirement.
