A mentor is there to guide and advise, striving to meet set goals to help young people achieve their potential!
We are looking to build on The Pythian Club’s mentoring programme to provide a range of physical and social activities, utilising NTU students who display positive qualities associated with being an affective role model.  As a mentor simply turning up for a young person every week is sometimes all the difference they need.

Young people need: 
-Someone to listen to them
- Support to refocus on school attendance or achievements
- Confidence to make new friends
- Help to find hobbies, interests and talents
- Guidance to stay away from risk taking behaviour, gangs etc
