Would you like to help a young person in your local community prosper? You’ve come to the right place! ReachOut are looking for volunteers to join us for 2 hours a week as a mentor to young people in need of a positive role model. ReachOut partners with schools in disadvantaged communities across London to support young people aged 9 to 16, helping them to grow in social and academic confidence, develop their character and raise their aspirations so they can thrive in life! Our mentors are at the heart of ReachOut Clubs, they are positive role models working with young people on both an individual and group basis and they make a real difference to the young people ReachOut works with. As a mentor you will volunteer once a week at one of our after-school clubs which are fun, engaging and varied! Alongside helping young people to grow in character you will also develop your own confidence, communication and teamwork skills.
