Mentoring
This mentoring programme focuses on mentoring all young men, but in particular, young men who are from poor socio-ecomonic and NEET (Not in Employment Education or Training) backgrounds. The programme is also for ex-offenders. We were delighted to have received the support and endorsment of former prisoner and cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken at the launch.
Mentoring has been described as one of the most powerful learning tools of our time. There are many men who simply do not have an individual who can help them come to terms with the challenges that life throws at them. These men welcome the opportunity to have someone that they can look up to and relate to.
A mentor is someone who is a coach, guide and friend. A mentor acts a positive role model and often confidante to the mentee. A mentoring programme will help the mentor and the person being mentored by providing insights into the role of each party.
