A 2 Day Course Saturday 23 and Saturday 30 November 2019, 09.45 to 4.30pm
Are you ready to take mentoring to the next level? Mentors, do you make a difference to the lives of children or adults in need? Managers, is it time that you supported mentors to gain a recognised qualification?

Schools, faith groups, youth centres and public sector have an increasing demand for experienced mentors with the skills to support adults and children with multiple needs.
Mentors provide regular 1-1 support and guidance to people in need. More experienced mentors are needed to provide a stable foundation for young people and adults in need to build a brighter future.
Hackney CVS in partnership with Mighty Men of Valour and Ruth Generation will support active mentors that guide adults and children to achieve the level 2 OCN qualifications. Take part in a two day course. The initiative is subsided, participants pay £25.00
