THE MENTORING PROGRAMME
An innovative programme from Action4Youth providing early intervention mentoring, support and guidance for young people aged 11-17 across Buckinghamshire.
What is The Mentoring Programme?
A free programme for young people aged 11-17 years across Buckinghamshire. The 12 week sessions are held on a 1:1 basis and designed to provide focus, to help the young person stay on track and reach their potential, based on their needs.
How does The Mentoring Programme support young people?
Every young person deserves the best possible start in life, and when there is a lack of focus or direction it becomes difficult to achieve real potential. Mentoring can deliver crucial support, encouragement and guidance to young people needing that extra help.
1:1 mentoring programmes are proven to generate the best results with trust-based relationships.
Sessions will explore and develop coping skills and build resilience which will not only improve their quality of life but also establish a positive mindset.
Enrichment programmes and employability programmes connect young people with positive pathways
The mentor will signpost and connect them into positive pathways, engaging with the local, relevant organisations that can support their individual interests and provide a safe, ongoing and stimulating outlet for their abilities.
