Find out more about mentoring with MCR Pathways

This year mentoring charity, MCR Pathways, wants you to know that there is incredible power in small actions. You can create a wave of change that resonates for a lifetime.

MCR Pathways' mentoring programme works with disadvantaged and care-experienced young people in your community - helping them grow their confidence, overcome their challenges and build a positive future. Across Scotland, people from all walks of life are choosing to mentor for just one hour a week.

It might sound like a small thing, but that positive relationship changes everything. Our schools, communities and organisations too, all see the difference and feel the impact in the next generation. Before mentoring, only 54% of care-experienced young people left school to college, uni or a job - now 86% of mentored young people do.

Mentoring also helps build essential workplace skills. You can make a difference that lasts a lifetime while also helping build new skills, including:

• Leadership Training; mentoring builds confidence, initiative & assertiveness
• Motivation; mentors experience a significant sense of purpose & fulfilment
• Personal development; active listening & communication skills are fully enhanced

When one person mentors, two lives are changed forever. Can you get involved and be part of #TheRippleEffect?
