Intandem mentoring

Funded by the Scottish Government through Inspiring Scotland, intandem aims to support young people aged 8-14 years old who are looked after at home by their local authority.

Young people are matched with a trained volunteer mentor who spends 2 hours with them each week for a minimum of a year taking part in outings and activities to help them engage with the community, meet personal goals and fulfil their potential.

Young people and their mentors enjoy a range of outings and activities with the aim of working towards achieving the young person’s personal goals, to help them increase their confidence and self-esteem and build valuable life skills.

Over time a mentor and young person build a trusting and supportive friendship which can have a transformational effect on the young person and their outlook on life.

If you think you could help shape the future of a local young person find out more about volunteering as an intandem mentor on our volunteer with us page.

Referrals for our intandem mentoring programme should come from social services for young people aged 8-14 years old who are under a supervision order from their local authority.
