The Mentoring Programme at OnSide WYC was established in 2015 and provides volunteer mentor support to vulnerable and at risk children and young people aged between 7 and 19 years old.

We are looking for a new team of Volunteer Mentors to act as role models and to support a young person through a difficult stage in their lives. Mentors must be age 19 years or older and be able to commit to meet with a young person for 1-2 hours per week for a number of pre-agreed months. With have various programmes at the club with 3-12 months’ time frame dependant on the commitment you can give.

- Introduction to Mentoring

- Professional Boundaries
- Action Planning & Goal Setting
- Communication Skills
- Understanding Children & Young People
All Mentors will be supported and supervised throughout their journey with WYC and a written reference will be given after 12 months service.
This opportunity is not only a personally rewarding one, but it is a great way to enhance your skill set, explore new career options and improve your own employability.
Training dates are available throughout the year.
