Mentor Link is recruiting Volunteer Mentors from the Sandwell area to provide one to one support mentoring and therapeutic support to vulnerable children and young people in schools and the community. Mentor Link are keen to hear from people in business and the community, who would be interested in becoming a Volunteer Mentor to support a young person to achieve their full potential. The mentors are specially trained to listen to and support young people and aim to improve their self- esteem and engagement in learning. The charity has an excellent track record of success in achieving positive outcomes with children and young people. If you like a challenge and want to give something back, to help make a difference to the lives of vulnerable children and young people then we would like to hear from you. As one year 9 girl wrote to her mentor: “I am glad I met you as you have allowed me to be who I am today and without you who knows where I would be right now.” Mentors offer one to two hours weekly during term time. The role includes: • Providing a listening ear, support and encouragement to your mentee. • Taking responsibility for developing the mentoring relationship, ensuring that mentoring goals remain the key focus of the mentoring sessions. • Seeking out any additional information which you think your mentee would find helpful, e.g. information on courses or careers. • Attending compulsory Induction and safeguarding training within the allotted timescale and any other training/networking offered as you feel meets your needs/interests. • Ensuring that there is a positive ending to the relationship, for the mentee and yourself.
