Looking to gain experience supporting young people? Want to make a difference to the lives of Young Carers?  Glasgow North West Carers Service provides unpaid Carers and their families in the North West of Glasgow with practical help and emotional support. Looking after someone can be an isolating and debilitating experience and we are here to help Carers access the information, advice and support they need to feel more able to cope with their situation, to take positive steps to address difficulties and increase their wellbeing. Glasgow NW Carers Service has identified a need for increased mental health and emotional support for this group and have developed a Peer Mentor Project to address this.  A Volunteer Peer Mentor, ideally between the age of 18-25, plays a vital role in supporting individuals through guidance, encouragement, and shared experiences. This position is designed for those who are passionate about helping others, fostering personal growth, and building a sense of community. At a similar stage of life to the young person, peer mentors act as role models, offering practical and emotional support.  ** The minimum commitment is 2hrs per week for 12 months, to ensure consistency for your young mentee **  Typical Activities · Meeting regularly with assigned mentees in person · Assisting with goal setting and progress tracking · Sharing resources and information relevant to mentees’ interests · Participating in training sessions and ongoing development opportunities · Providing feedback to program coordinators
