Volunteering Mentor Role

Volunteer Mentor Role, Cardiff, South Wales

 

Purpose of the role:

The Volunteer Mentor role is to provide guidance, support, and inspiration to individuals in need, fostering their personal and professional growth. This role is crucial in helping our organisation achieve its mission of empowering and uplifting the lives of others. By fulfilling these objectives, Volunteer Mentors play a vital role in the  development of our beneficiaries, contributing to their long-term success and well-being. The mentorship provided not only impacts the individual mentees but also strengthens the fabric of our community, creating a ripple effect of positive change.

Commitment to Veterans:

The Mentor Ring recognises, values and appreciates the skills and abilities of our UK Armed Forces Veterans and understands their diverse experiences and culture. We are committed to equality and diversity and we have experience of providing ongoing support to Veterans and their families. We aim to assist with transition into civilian life, integration into the civilian community, re- training and education and matters concerning mental health, resilience and wellbeing. Veterans are encouraged to get in touch about all of our volunteer roles and opportunities.
