Our Mentoring Programme partners with schools to support young women aged 12-15.
We deliver our mentoring programmes weekly after school for two hours during term time. Young women are partnered with a mentor under the supervision of a project leader.
The sessions cover self-esteem and confidence building activities in addition to academic skills.
Our Employability and Skills Programme develops the skills and talents of young women who are recent graduates, students, long term unemployed, or NEET’s, to lead them to a better future in life.
We provide:
· Spotlight talks and events with employers and recent graduates
· CV and interview workshops
· Application support & practice tests
· Work shadowing and mentoring
Our Personal Development Programme enables young women to develop their confidence and self-esteem through a variety of workshops and activities:
· Vision Board Workshop: Vision boards are a modern manifestation tool combining concepts taken from creative hobbies like scrapbooking with motivational mind-mapping techniques.
· Goal Setting & Motivation Workshop: Using SMART goals as a tool, we help young women to set deadlines on their dreams, and helps them to set realistic attainable goals.
· Career Development Workshop: Helps young women develop core skills sets through activities that are based on careers in the real world.
· Creative Activities Workshop: Provides an opportunity for young women to express their creativity, through music, arts, writing, and more.
· Relationship Building Workshop: Relationships are too important to leave to chance. Educational success and social-emotional development blossom when caring adults and supportive peers are present in young people’s lives.
