A CALL has gone out for volunteers to step forward to help nurture the talents of young people in Moray.
Mentoring Young Talent is a volunteering programme set up by Moray Council in 2019 to support young people between the ages of 12-26 years.
The scheme is seeking volunteers with a range of life experience and backgrounds who are available to offer a minimum of an hour a week to build a one-to-one relationship with a local young person.
Training and supervision is provided, including tailoring opportunities to enhance a mentor's knowledge of issues that affect young
people locally.
Mentors work with care experienced young people and others who have faced challenges.
They are matched with a young person and provide one-to-one time to boost confidence, offer new experiences, gain skills and qualifications.
When launched the initiative focused on young people in two Moray secondary schools with several successful mentoring relationships established. It has now been rolled out across the region.
