Could you be an MCR Pathways mentor? Find out more at our upcoming information sessions

We are partnering with MCR Pathways to support care-experienced young people in Glasgow. Learn more about how you can help and how to get involved.

What is MCR Pathways?

MCR Pathways is a school-based mentoring charity. It matches volunteer mentors with young people who need a trusted adult in their lives. Just one hour a week can make a real difference.

Mentors meet their young person in school, once a week during term time. You don't need any qualifications or experience, just a desire to help.

What's in it for you?

Mentoring benefits you, too. Research shows it can boost your wellbeing, confidence, and productivity. You'll also grow your leadership and communication skills as you give back to your community.

Where does mentoring take place?

Mentoring takes place in all 30 Glasgow high schools. Use the MCR Pathways School Locator to find one close to you or your workplace.

Time commitment

Here is what to expect in terms of time:

  • A 30-minute information session.
  • A one-hour interview with MCR Pathways.
  • A mandatory three-hour MCR Pathways training session.
  • Weekly meetings with your young person during term time (up to 38 weeks) for up to two years. This can take up to 2 hours per week, including travel time.

Please note: MCR Pathways does not reimburse travel expenses.
