Youth Mentoring Services
Why Choose Us
YOU-Zone uses diversionary activities to help children and young people face their challenges head-on. We find that by participating in the activities with a mentor gives the young person a sense of achievement and can lead to the following outcomes.
Improved relationships with adults
Through regular interactions with their mentors, young people can build trusting relationships with caring adults. This can improve their sense of connectedness and help them feel supported.
Improved social skills
The development of social skills such as communication, problem-solving, and decision-making can be valuable in many areas of life including school, employment, and personal relationships.
Reduced delinquent behaviour
Research has shown that mentoring can help reduce the risk of criminal exploitation and criminal behaviour such as drug use and acts of violence in our communities.
Increased self-esteem and improved mental health
Positive relationships with mentors can help young people feel valued and supported. This can lead to increased confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. Having a safe space to talk about their feelings and concerns can help improve their mental health and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Enhanced career readiness
Young people can explore career options and learn how to achieve their goals helping them to be better prepared when entering the workforce and increase their chances of success.
