The New Routes Mentoring Project partners young asylum seekers and refugees, aged 14-22, with local young people to support educational achievement and promote cross-cultural friendship and understanding. The project has been running since October 2007 and currently supports 12 mentor/mentee partnerships as well as a weekly international youth club at the Community Workshop. We go on regular project outings to places of local interest and have termly, whole-project get-togethers to share a meal and discuss future plans and new directions. Mentors receive project-specific training in refugee issues as well as Mentoring & Befriending Foundation accredited peer mentoring training. We have monthly mentor meeting and supervision sessions as well as on-going additional training support for all volunteers. |
