MCR Pathways is an award winning charity that provides a school-based 1-2-1 mentoring programme for care-experienced and disadvantaged young people, helping them to realise their full potential no matter what their circumstances.

Through no fault of their own, young people who are care-experienced or facing challenges experience a significant gap in outcomes compared to their peers. They aren’t reaching their potential – but 1-2-1 mentoring can change that.

Our mentors are volunteers who give just 1 hour a week for at least a year to mentor the young person they are carefully matched to. Having a consistent, caring adult can boost confidence, academic performance and open doors to a brighter future.

As a mentor you would provide encouragement, reassurance and a safe space to build confidence and self worth, ultimately helping the young person to unlock their potential.

No prior experience is required – we say that if you care, you qualify! If you are good at listening and keen to make a difference, you can mentor. We will provide excellent training and on going support.

By volunteering as a mentor you really can transform the life of a young person who is facing challenges. We are sure that you will also find the role incredibly rewarding whilst also developing your skills in active listening and empathy.

“Everybody’s got something to offer. Everybody’s got life skills. It doesn’t matter where you come from. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done.”

We are looking to recruit volunteer mentors in different locations in Ealing.

If you would like to help young people flourish and make a positive difference to your local community, please do get in touch!

An hour a week – a lifetime of impact!
