Your Role in Creating Change
Mentors help young people feel safe, confident, and ready to take on life.
We often get new referrals from families and services, and the need for mentors keeps growing. More young people need someone who can listen, care, and spend time with them.
We are looking for ordinary people (like you) to make an extraordinary difference to a young person’s life in York.
Are you:
- Reliable?
- A good listener?
- Up for trying new things?
- Available 1-3 hours each week to spend time in York with a young person?
If you answered yes, then mentoring may be the right fit for you!
