Step Out Mentoring

Step-Out Mentoring is an early intervention mentoring organisation that provides support for children and young people in the heart of South London through outdoor based 1:1 mentoring. We work with children and young people aged 8-18 who are disengaged with education and/or life. The children that we work with are at risk of educational exclusion, anti-social and/or criminal behaviour in adolescence and early adult life. We work to support them in forging a way through life, encouraging them to thrive and become positive change makers in their communities. Our aim is to tackle problems upstream before the children and young people reach adolescence, when issues are likely to escalate and explode. We believe providing a mentor during this period can help those young people to walk through that time and learn to thrive in life. That's where we need your help. All our mentors are volunteers who give up 2 hours a week to walk with a young person. The impact of someone turning up every week to spend time with a  young person is huge. Plus its a great way to keep active and try new things yourself as well. 2 hours a week is all it takes.
