If you’re based in the Norwich area, and your New Year’s resolution is to give back to your local community – we may have just the opportunity for you! Our Norwich Community Mentors programme is on the hunt for new volunteer mentors to support local young people.

Funded by the Department for Education through Norwich Opportunity Area, Norwich Community Mentors help young people and their families to look beyond existing barriers and raise aspirations to achieve both educational and career goals.

Our team match young people with volunteer mentors. Mentors aren’t paid; they’re volunteers with life experience and skills, who give their time to support young people to achieve their goals at key educational transition stages.

You don’t need any previous experience either – volunteers receive full training, support and expenses from a dedicated project officer throughout.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to make a massive difference to someone’s life as a community mentor, visit the opportunity page to register your interest. Or if you have questions, why not get in touch with our team and have a chat to find out more? Call 07841442702 or email:
