- High profile role models from all walks of life can make a positive difference to a young person’s life and in a relatively short amount of time.
- We can shape young people’s aspirations and help them realise their potential through mentoring.
- A structured and trusting relationship will bring young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing their competence and character.
- Providing outcome focused early intervention mentoring programmes for young people with the greatest need, we can assist them in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; improve their academic performance; improve interpersonal relationships between young people and their peers, teachers, other adults, family members, and future employers; reduce the dropout rate of young people; and reduce juvenile delinquency and involvement in gangs.
We are committed to helping to motivate young people to reach their full potential by offering support, advice and encouragement so they achieve to be the best that they can be.
We aim to create a long lasting support network within the young referred person’s local community and inspire and motivate all those who are involved in our initiatives giving them the opportunity to focus on personal and social development.
