MCR Pathways, first founded in 2007, began expanding across Scotland in 2018 – launching in Aberdeen that same year. In 2020, the programme then expanded into a total of six schools in the city, helping young people across Aberdeen to find, grow and use their talent.
Our volunteer mentors spend one hour a week listening to and encouraging their young person. The only qualification you need to be a mentor is the desire to help. Young people are matched with a mentor based on their personalities, interests and career aspirations. All young people are different and have different needs, so it’s important that our mentors come from all walks of life.
Role models make a life-changing difference to young people. Additionally, mentoring has been shown to make a powerful and positive impact on those who give their time and support.
Sign up today and find out more about mentoring in Aberdeen schools including: St Machar Academy, Lochside Academy, Hazlehead Academy, Northfield Academy, Harlaw Academy and Dyce Academy.
MCR recruits and trains volunteer mentors who are matched with a young person that shares similar interests, hobbies or career aspirations. Mentors meet with their young person at their school for just one hour per week and the difference this makes is transformational.
