There are many ways to support children and young people — helpful and harmful; formal and meaningful. Consistent support helps them believe in themselves and build their own path. Mentorship is exactly this kind of support.

In this series, experts explain how mentorship works and how to build safe, trusting relationships. You’ll receive practical guidance and learn how to act together with a child or young person. This series is for everyone who wants to act responsibly.
