Specialist Youth Mentoring  The Credible Messenger Approach

Disrupting Negative Trajectories

Qualified by experience, we provide more than standard youth mentors.  As leading youth mentors in London and Sussex, our team is comprised of Credible Messengers — practitioners with lived experience — capable of building genuinely authentic connections with the young people we support.  

This means that our mentors don't just have training; but also the lived experience and cultural competency required to foster genuine Life Skills and SEL Development.  As impact starts with identification, we're able to reach disengaged, hard to reach, and/or those exhibiting high risk behaviours — providing a bridge back to education and community safety. â€‹

Pathways Education Project Mentoring
Our personalized one-to-one support bridges the gap between school, peer pressure, and everyday social environments. We specialize in supporting learners with neurodevelopmental needs (ASC/ADHD) and those facing socio-economic barriers using SEL-based frameworks to boost self-belief and academic motivation
Understanding that challenges can extend beyond the classroom, our practitioners employ family mentoring to improve or rebuild relationships. By also supporting Young people, parents, carers, and families holistically, we create a stable foundation for mentees to thrive
Sometimes traditional mentoring needs a different 'hook' to drive engagement. Our lived experience mentors employ  Active Mentoring programmes physical activity and creative expression as tools to promote positive behaviour, build discipline, and improve mental wellbeing.
"O' continued to flourish this year.  He gained huge levels of respect from staff who saw him transform from a boy who was regularly seeking out risky behaviours, receiving regular sanctions, known to the police, and on the verge of permanent exclusion, to a confident, hardworking, successful, and polite young man.  Pathways were an integral part of his journey and change.  Thank you again for all the hard work with 'O' and all the other 'O's of the world"
