Mentors are positive role models who inspire, encourage and guide young people to achieve their potential. They offer personalised one-to-one support to help improve young people’s lives.
YLF is commissioned by HeadStart Kent to deliver mentoring intervention for 10-16 year olds across all Kent districts. HeadStart’s ambition is to better equip young people to help deal with difficult circumstances in their lives, with the aim to prevent common emotional and mental health problems and build resilience.
YLF’s new and innovative care leaver mentoring programme is available to those leaving the care of Medway’s Children Services. A care leaving Mentor can help young adults feel confident, prepared and have a sense of belonging during the transition of leaving foster care, reducing loneliness and isolation.
