The Mission

 The Mayor of London’s New Deal for Young People is about transforming the lives of disadvantaged young Londoners. To do this we are focused on increasing the quality, quantity and sustainability of the mentoring and youth sector across London.

Many of the organisations funded through the New Deal for Young People train volunteer mentors to support young people. To help these organisations find, train and support volunteer mentors as they go on an exciting journey that will change a life, mentoring development company Goal 17 has partnered with us to deliver this Mentoring Academy Platform, to guide you through the first steps towards mentoring. The training is designed to give you the skills and confidence to embark on a mentoring partnership that will be rewarding for everyone involved!

We are now accepting applications for new mentors! To get involved, and join our amazing volunteers having exciting new experiences, fill out the form below and one of the team will get back to you as soon as they can.

Our Mentoring Academy will help you start your mentoring journey and provide the support, resources and guidance so that you are fully prepared to be connected to mentoring organisations and support young people. We will also provide opportunities to attend exclusive events and opportunities, and a community platform for you to connect with a network of other mentors.

What  are the benefits for our mentors?

  • A new perspective on the world around them – many of our mentors experience new ways of thinking, new activities to try, and a diverse range of views and ideas.
  • Development of skills – volunteer mentors receive training which helps them to develop their interpersonal and mentoring skills, which are often transferrable to the workplace and to everyday life.
  • Professional perks –  our volunteers are part of something great, and we encourage them to tell their network that! Volunteering is great for your professional reputation and gives you skills and kudos that make you even more attractive to clients and employers alike.
  • Most importantly – being a volunteer can be a really enjoyable experience for everyone involved!
