Question 1

Can I become a mentor even if I don’t have experience with young people?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our mentors come from all walks of life, many with no previous experience of working with young people. What our mentors have in common is not their experience but their shared desire to be a supportive adult who takes an interest in the life and education of a young person.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Volunteer mentors give 1 hour each week during school hours, for at least 1 year. Mentors and young people are carefully matched based on their likes, personality and life-experiences. Everyone is different, so we look for mentors from all walks of life.

Question 3

I’d like to mentor, what school can I choose?

Accepted Answer

Our mentoring program operates in various schools across Surrey. More information here: https://mcrpathways.org/school-locator/

Question 4

Do the meetings have to be at the same day and time each week?

Accepted Answer

No, the mentoring sessions do not have to be the same day/time each week and can vary to fit around changing work hours/other commitments.
