***Volunteer Mentor***

One Million Mentors

We are in need of volunteers to help our young people in London. We are looking for volunteers to mentor our young people at NCC Redbridge, you'll meet for just one hour a month, but your impact will last a lifetime! This is a hybrid role and we have a set timetable on when the sessions would be and if they are in person or online.

What is 1MM?

1MM mentoring empowers young people to become the best version of themselves: building relationships - free of assumption and judgement - where they benefit from another’s experience and perspective and can think bigger, find their own answers and take the next meaningful step into their future.

Main tasks and responsibilities

  • We recruit, train and deploy volunteer mentors, matching them with mentees and providing high quality support to both so that they are well prepared and can have an effective and impactful mentoring relationship.
  • Our mentoring is one to one, for young people aged 14-25 years old, for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year.
