By being a mentor to a young person you can have a profound impact on their life and positively influence their future.  Young people face many challenges in today's world, from the pressures of social media to the temptation of negative influences. By becoming a mentor, you can help young people navigate these challenges and build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

For young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, mentoring can also provide a sense of belonging and connection. As a volunteer youth mentor, you have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the life of a young person and contribute to building a better future for your community.
