Description

What is the role

  • The Kids Network is looking for committed, fun and passionate volunteers who live in or near to City of London to make a difference to the children of London.
  • Our structured mentoring programme supports 811 year old's, based in City of London, to support with their social and emotional development before they transition into secondary school.
  • As a mentor, you will hold weekly one on one sessions of 1 3 hours. You will help to build confidence, resilience and help your mentee to manage feelings through a series of fun and positive experiences and activities.
  • The weekly sessions can be flexible between weekdays and weekends.
  • You will also get to meet fellow adults in your community through our peer network.
  • All volunteers will go benefit from two compulsory days of inperson and virtual training where you'll gain skills and knowledge to support you as a mentor. _(Many mentors share that the skills developed support their progression in the workplace, especially those seeking to gain experience working with children and young people)_

What impact will this have?

  • Help build resilience and confidence in a child in your local community.
  • Learn from fellow mentors with our amazing peer network.
  • Help a child as they transition from primary to secondary school.

Training
