Are you interested in mentoring?

Are you a great listener and communicator with loads of common sense plus a sense of fun? If you are, we would love to hear from you. Being a Project K Mentor is a wonderfully rewarding and supported 12 month journey with a student as they work towards achieving their own goals.

We still have some places available for our HNHS mentoring training programme.

Training is over the following 4 days:

• Thursday 9 September 6pm – 9pm
• Saturday 11 September 9am – 4pm
• Thursday 16 September 6pm – 9pm
• Saturday 18 September 6pm – 9pm
