Volunteer Peer Mentor - NYAS


 
NYAS is a charity which supports children, young people and vulnerable adults by helping them to be heard, through the provision of confidential and independent advice, information and representation.
 
Volunteers aged 18-25 are needed to be Peer Mentors. 
 
In this role a young person supports another young person to explore issues they want stopped, started or changed using their lived experience to provide guidance. The aim is for the younger person/mentee to begin to make informed decisions based on their own needs and goals.
 
These goals would be related to education, employment, voluntary work, work experience, exploring apprenticeships etc.
 
The mentees will also require support from their mentor to develop their life skills and confidence within their transition from leaving care.
 
We particularly welcome applications from care experienced young people.
