Information for Volunteers

Information for Volunteers:
intandem’s success is down to the dedication of volunteer mentors who are consistently there for young people.  We rely on volunteers to provide a positive, trusted and fun role model for children and young people.  After full training and screening, you will meet weekly with your ‘mentee’ (a child or young person aged between 8-15 years) to encourage them to explore their goals and local community through different activities.  On-going training and support is provided throughout the mentoring relationship.  Mentors tell us the learning and development is two-way.  Being a mentor is incredibly rewarding and can also help widen your skill set and broaden your CV.  If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, find your local intandem on our website.
