Unfold
Male Mentors for Young Men provide practical, social and professional support to young men aged 10-25, predominantly online in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea.
You will:
- Empower young men to identify changes they wish to make and goals they wish to achieve.
- Over 12 to 24 weekly sessions, mentors offer coaching style support to young men to help them achieve their goals and get them where they want to be.
- Provide a listening ear and talk thorough the challenges young men face.
- Support young men to make social connections with the local community or groups, refer and signpost them to other organisations providing more specialist support if needed.
Your mentoring will help young men break cycles of social isolation, improve family cohesion, and wellbeing by providing support in a wide range of issues.
By being part of the Unfold mentor family you will be helping us to have greater reach in making a positive impact in the lives of many vulnerable families and young people, living in Westminster.
