A Match That Feels Right
A good mentoring relationship starts with the right fit. We take time to understand the young person’s personality, interests, goals and support needs before introducing a mentor.
- Start with a relaxed conversation about what matters
- Match around interests, communication style and goals
- Agree on practical activities and outcomes
- Keep families and coordinators informed where appropriate
- Review the match and adjust support as goals develop
