Volunteer Mentor

MCR Pathways needs compassionate volunteers (21+) to support disadvantaged young people across Surrey schools. As a mentor, you’ll provide consistent, caring guidance to help a young person recognise their worth and potential.

Your Impact:
• Weekly 1-hour meetings during term-time at a school near you
• Build trust through active listening and encouragement
• Help your mentee navigate challenges and build confidence
• Champion their talents and aspirations.

What skills do I need?

No specific experience or skills are required, just the ability to be there for the young person, to listen and to care. 

We will need to conduct a DBS check at no cost to you, as well as get the details of two character references.  

Volunteering will take place at one of the schools we work with, which the volunteer picks based on their location.

Currently these include:

• Guildford, Surrey (Christ's College and Kings College)
• Aldershot, Hampshire (Ash Manor school)
• Redhill, Surrey (Carrington school)
• Esher, Surrey (Hinchley Wood school)
• Horley, Surrey (Oakwood School).

When do I need to be available?

Details

We ask all our mentors to volunteer for a minimum of a year, spending one hour a week during the school day, in their chosen school, term time only.
