About The Mentoring Lab
Using mentoring tools and techniques, we offer safe online and face-to-face youth mentoring programmes to young people that live in East London and surrounding boroughs.
Our primary goal is to work with black and marginalised youth to reduce poverty and improve social mobility to prevent underachievement in their learning and access to sustainable career opportunities.
Through the use of high-quality mentoring we aim to break the cycle of poverty and isolation in young people’s lives.
Why we do what we do
We believe that the young people we serve are 'diamonds in the rough', with draw-dropping creative thinking, inspiring values, and unsurpassable grit that is desperately needed in the British workforce. Yet young people from black and marginalised communities do not have access to solid, reliable guidance in how to focus their skills and talents, to help improve Britain's most pressing issues and improve all of our futures.
Our Definition of Mentoring
Being safely guided by a trusted person with a set of qualities and more experience in a particular area, via the use of mentoring tools and techniques, to support another with less experience in the progression and achievement of chosen goals and targets.
