MENTORING
Mentoring is a gift that can change both you and a young persons life. We have been lucky enough to pilot our mentoring programme in 2021-2022, working with an amazing young person that was introduced to us through Sheffield Council.
Our 10 week mentoring programme is set up to empower young people, along with giving them a safe space to be able to grow and plan their future, allowing them to be supported and held accountable with someone who is dedicated to giving them the time and energy so they can see a way to achieve their highest potential.
We believe at DYP that anyone that is given the right soil can have as good a chance as anyone else to grow. Our aim is to support young people in the future with a dedicated group of volunteer mentors dedicating 1 day a week for 13 weeks out of their year to complete our 10 week mentoring programme along with follow up.
If you feel like you have the skills and experience to be able to mentor a young person please use our contact form (make this into a clickable link to the contact page) . We won’t be looking for a little while but will be sure to contact you as soon as we get the ball rolling.
All mentors must have experience of working with young people, in date DBS, safeguarding education and the vision to want to help young people to excel whilst understanding the difference between a teacher and a mentor.
