Description
The Youth Adventure Trust is a registered youth development charity providing a programme of
outdoor adventure camps and activity days for vulnerable young people from the Somerset areas. On our programmes the young people take part in a range of
outdoor activities which are designed to increase their resilience, promote self-esteem and help
them to develop essential life skills.
The Youth Adventure Trust’s Mentoring Programme provides additional support for a select
number of young people who would benefit from further individualised support, following
completion of either our Adventure or Resilience programmes.
As a mentor you will be carefully matched with a young person and work with them on a one-
to-one basis within their local community. Although individual arrangements will vary, you’ll
meet for approximately 2 hours a fortnight, for up to a year, providing them with personalised
support to achieve the most positive outcomes.
With the support of a Mentoring Manager, you will work with the young person to identify
goals and objectives, and help them work towards these. Whilst each mentee will have varying
objectives, all mentors will provide empathy to the challenges faced by the young person and
give support, guidance and encouragement throughout the mentoring relationship.
Although beneficial, no previous experience of working with young people is required, as full
training will be provided. All we ask is that you’re enthusiastic, reliable and committed to the
mentoring relationship.
Our mentors are role models to the vulnerable young people we work with, and therefore
should be responsible, resilient, good at communicating and have a desire to help young
people.
Time commitment:Â Although individual arrangements will vary, you will meet for approximately 2
hours per fortnight, for a year.
The Youth Adventure Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young
people and expects all volunteers to share this commitment. The suitability of all prospective
volunteers will be assessed during the recruitment process in line with this commitment.
