We are recruiting academic mentors to join our dynamic Youth Mentoring programme to provide one-to-one academic support to girls aged 10 -18 who may fall behind in their schoolwork.
Volunteer mentors will act as role models, support academic progress, and provide inspiration and encouragement to young people at risk of becoming vulnerable to further disadvantage as the attainment gaps widen. Whilst the focus is supporting academic progress, personal development, goal setting and confidence building will also be necessary.

Hours: 4 pm to 6 pm
Duration: For one academic year remote or in person, term time only.
Full training and ongoing support will be provided.
