What is 1MM?
1MM mentoring empowers young people to become the best version of themselves: building relationships - free of assumption and judgement - where they benefit from another’s experience and perspective and can think bigger, find their own answers and take the next meaningful step into their future.
1MM recruit, train and deploy volunteer mentors, matching them with mentees and providing high quality support to both so that they are well prepared and can have an effective and impactful mentoring relationship. Their mentoring is one to one, for young people aged 14-25 years old, for 1 hour, once a month, for up to a year.
All they ask of their volunteers is to sign up to their platform at 1mm.org.uk complete some mandatory online training.
