Empowering Young People

Our Young People Mentoring Service in Somerset aims to address the issue of NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) among 16 to 19-year-olds by providing dedicated support and guidance. The mentoring program focuses on engaging young individuals into further education, employment, or training opportunities to equip them with the necessary skills and resources for a successful transition into adulthood.

Shane’s role as an advocate for 10 young people is instrumental in helping the young people overcome barriers and pursue their goals. By utilising flexible content from Intuitive Thinking Skills courses, he not only provides practical guidance but also inspires ambition and encourages higher expectations among the young people he mentors.
