What is Mentoring?

The objective of mentoring is for passionate and caring individuals to offer and provide a structured and trusting relationship for young people who would benefit from assistance. A mentor will typically provide support and encouragement in life skills development as well as offering trained guidance.

What Can Mentoring Help Me Achieve?

Based upon personal objectives, mentoring programmes vary, but the overall theme is that one can achieve what one wants to. Personal achievements are never too big or too small. Some typical examples may be: striving for a career of interest; improving school results; learning essential life skills. Utilising an effective mentoring scheme can allow you to achieve such aims and a mentor will always be there for you to talk to, listen to your concerns or intentions, and most importantly, won’t judge you.

The VirtueYouth Mentorship Programme

VirtueYouth aims to support young people’s transition into the adult world through a mentorship programme which will run parallel to the VirtueYouth programme. The primary focus will be to support social inclusion by initially offering expert vocational assessments to jointly identify strengths and similarly work with areas of weakness, thereby developing a clear pathway into work and professional development for the user.


The fundamentals being that there would be encouragement around partnership working with ecologically sound companies. This part of the journey will be supported by sessions from qualified vocational workers who will develop relationships with work placements and devise mentorship programmes in partnership with local business and the users. This in turn will support socially inclusive activities in partnership with the users.
