One Million Mentors is a unique, community-based mentoring programme, bringing together local young people and volunteer mentors who give an hour a month for up to a year. We support young people who have high potential but low social capital and our aim is to increase their career chances by providing them with a full trained mentor who will encourage and guide them, assisting them to explore career options, build soft skills and provide insight into the world of work.
This Summer we will be partnering with Reform Radio, providing mentors for some of the young people they work with, many of whom wish to go into the Creative Industries.
If you work in media or performing arts - Music, TV, Radio, Design, Production, Film, or any other creative industry - please get in touch!
Volunteer 1 hour a month for 1 year and change a young person's life.
Start date: 15th June 2024
