Volunteer mentor for young people
Mentoring Plus
Make a difference in a young person's life - become a volunteer mentor with Mentoring Plus
Could you spare 1-2 hours a week to support a child or young person in Bath & North East Somerset? As a volunteer mentor, you'll be matched with a young person aged 7-25, meet weekly, encourage them to explore their interests, try new activities - and have lots of fun together. For a young person struggling at home, school or in their community, having a kind and caring adult by their side each week can transform their confidence, happiness and wellbeing. And our volunteers tell us they gain just as much as they give. No experience required - we provide full training, support and expenses.

Interpersonal, Empathy
We will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to have a positive, safe and rewarding experience. You don't need to have previous experience. All our young people need is for you to show up with a smile, an open-mind and a willingness to have some fun together.
Mentoring is hugely rewarding — it’s brilliant for boosting your wellbeing, confidence, and skills, and it’s great fun too! Want to hear from our mentors about how mentoring has impacted them? Visit our website or follow us on social media.
Mentors meet their mentee for 1-2 hours a week Monday-Friday (holidays permitting). For primary aged mentees, sessions are 1 hour during school hours and during term-time only. For secondary aged mentees or older, sessions can take place outside of school hours and throughout the year. Mentoring lasts for up 12 months, to give young people and their mentors the time to build trust, and strong and impactful relationships.
