Mentoring young people with fewer opportunities is a means to foster the inclusion, education and employability of young people especially those not in education, employment or training; young people at risk of marginalisation; and young people with a migrant background, particularly newly arrived immigrants and young refugees.
The MentorPower Programme has two aspects, training and mentoring.
Training Courses: SYinc offers training courses to local and foreign youth workers working with vulnerable young people. The aim is to take care and support young people as they grow and move on with their lives.
Mentoring Programme: This support is offered by our trained volunteers to each of our residents and any young people who approach us for guidance and help. The Mentoring Programme continues well after the residents leave our accommodation, depending on the young person’s needs.
