Join 1000+ Trained Youth Mentors

Affordable Youth Mentoring Training

We're on a mission to make professional youth mentoring training accessible to all working with young people from underserved and marginalised backgrounds and communities.

We believe that every young person deserves access to quality mentoring; regardless of their postcode, background, or circumstances. That's why we've redesigned our training courses to break down barriers and open doors to excellence within Youth Mentoring.

Become A Professional Youth Mentor

All reflective youth mentors are practitioners, and they understand that being a mentor takes more than having cool conversations.

With all the complexities and barriers that today's young people are facing, upskill yourself to develop the skill, knowledge and qualities of a youth mentor practitioner.

Become a professional Youth Mentor; equipped to mentor young people as they transition safely into adulthood and careers.
