What You'll Do? Mentors for women will empower women with children aged 5+ to overcome challenging circumstances and help them find ways to make social connections and integrate with their local community and groups, referring and signposting them to other organisations if needed. Through encouragement and active listening, you will support your mentees’ mental wellbeing, by providing a safe space to discuss the challenges faced. Being trained in positive psychology and coaching style techniques, you will support your mentee to help them achieve their goals and get them where they want to be. What You'll Learn? Through our comprehensive training and ongoing support, you will develop skills in positive psychology and coaching style techniques to effectively support your mentee to making steps towards positive change, gaining transferable skills relevant for personal and professional development, this includes but is not limited to team working, empathetic leadership, organisation, growth mindset and adaptive communication styles and approaches. What We're Looking For? There is no one size fits all, your individuality is what makes you unique! We welcome volunteers age 21+ from all backgrounds, with life experience, who are non-judgemental and will be committed to support other women on their journeys. We ask volunteers to commit to delivering mentoring 1–2-hour a week, over a period of 24 in person sessions. We welcome mentors over the age of 50, for our Women2Women: Sharing Wisdom, Sharing Lives sub programme. This is a great opportunity if you are looking to bridge a gap in your CV and get back into work. We provide references and development opportunities through training.
