become a mentor and change a life
WHAT IS MENTORING
​
Being a mentor is simply offering your presence consistently and unconditionally over the long term. It is primarily about showing up and remaining present in the life of a fatherless boy.
​
A mentor is not a coach or a counsellor but a friend.
​
At Chapter2 we believe in activity based mentoring and encourage our mentors to seek out fun activities that they and their mentee enjoy together. We also aim to match mentors and mentees together that already have similar interests. At least once a quarter we provide group fun activities for all mentors and mentees on the programme to participate in.
