Mentoring Volunteer
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The volunteers from Erasmus + will be mentors alongside some 250 mentors living in Manchester, many of them come from abroad. For the first three months, while they get to know their new environment, the local culture and mores, and master the language, the EVS volunteer will be assisting in the running the ReachOut Club, a daily after school programme held in schools in Higher Blackley, Moss Side, Wythenshawe and other areas of Manchester. He/she will be also attending the training programmes (30 hours) with the other volunteers. The purpose of the Club is to help participants to grow in character and academic competence. The Erasmus + volunteer will be part of a team of 10-15 volunteers who go to different schools every day for the Club. He/she will be helping run the activities (academic, arts and crafts, dance, sport) and the different projects (fashion show, outing to adventure playground, cooking evenings, talent shows) as well as helping with educational improvement of participants. Once the Erasmus + volunteer has developed sufficient knowledge and confidence, usually after the first three months, he will be invited to join the mentoring team and he will be taking care of specific young people, acting as their mentor. The project will last for 12 months.
