Find or become a mentor
We want young people to feel empowered about their lives and futures. To do so, they need to both see and believe in their potential – and mentoring is a great way to support them.
With the Mayor’s New Deal for Young People, we’ve helped over 100,000 young people access high quality mentoring, ensuring no one is left behind.
You can get involved. Whether you’re looking for a mentor or want to become one, find the right opportunity for you.
