Collaboration that opens new opportunities for youth

At the beginning of February, together with students from the Department of Psychology at the PSRP of the University «Ukraine,» we met to get a closer look at the activities of the Mentoring Association and the space of opportunities it creates for children and youth. These meetings are about genuine collaboration, sharing experience, and inspiring action together for the protection of childhood.

The Mentoring Association team spoke about:

The organization’s main goals:

• bringing together the efforts of all interested parties, cooperation and interaction among Association members for the development and implementation of mentoring programs;
• promoting mentoring programs and providing informational and consulting support;
• as a result — protecting the rights of children and youth, particularly orphans and children from families in crisis.

Areas of mentoring:

• corporate mentoring for teenagers from vulnerable categories;
• individual mentoring;
• mentoring for young mothers from vulnerable categories;
• family mentoring.

The meeting took place in a warm and informative atmosphere, and the time was truly engaging. Thank you for your openness and feedback.

Student feedback:  

«Today during practice we listened to employees of the Mentoring Association for Children and Youth, who implement programs designed to help. I am very grateful to such people who help and create new opportunities for children who need our support! For people who can and want to help — this is a chance to make someone happy! Peace and kindness to all of us!»

«The meeting was truly very interesting! I had seen mentoring programs before, but often those projects were suspended or it was impossible to get into the training. And how happy I was when I found out that we have a Mentoring Association. I want to thank Olha Leonidivna for this opportunity to have such a meaningful and wonderful introduction to the Association and its projects from the inside! Special thanks to Mariia and Tetiana for the informative presentation and professional answers to our questions. It is very noticeable that they love what they do. Time flew by unnoticed!»
