Volunteer Mentor
MCR Pathways
As a mentor, you’ll help a young person build confidence, understand themselves better, and empower them to reach their full potential. You’ll be carefully matched with a young person facing challenges, based on backgrounds, interests, personality. By committing just one hour per week for at least a year, you can make a meaningful difference in their life. Sessions are in person. You’ll receive full induction and ongoing support, ensuring you're never doing this alone.
At MCR Pathways, we believe in the power of a single spark of connection to ignite potential and change lives. We are a national charity, passionate about ensuring every young person has someone to help them find their way to a brighter future, whenever and wherever they need us. We are looking for volunteer mentors to join our award-winning programme and make a profound difference. By dedicating just one hour a week, you become a trusted adult mentor who walks beside a young person, helping to spark their confidence, fuel their ambition, and awaken their potential. Every connection formed tells a unique story. Through consistency, trust, and a shared passion (whether it’s football, chess, or just a listening ear), you help a young person overcome barriers, build lasting strength, and plan their next move. It's the all-important voltage behind truly changing lives. As a Volunteer Mentor, you will: - Meet face to face with a young person, one hour per week during school hours, and for at least a year. - Offer guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear to help them build confidence and set personal goals. - Support the development of skills for education, work, and life. - Be a consistent, positive role model, helping them overcome barriers and broaden their horizons. Could you dedicate an hour a week to help a young person see their incredible potential?
