Mentoring and befriending

Become a mentor to aid a young person through their transition to life in the UK.

Provide one-to-one support to a young asylum seeker or refugee. The mentoring relationship provides friendship for socially isolated young migrants. It aims to ease their integration into local community life by helping to build their self-esteem, confidence and language skills.

A mentor will meet a young person once a week for one to two hours. Activities in this time could include coffee and a chat, help with reading letters, college work or English.

We offer full training and ongoing supervision and an opportunity to attend talks and events organised by KRAN. You must be over 18 and able to commit to this role for at least nine months. A DBS check is essential and will be organised via the project. Our main office is in Canterbury, from where we support the majority of our clients. However, we also need volunteers who can support young people in Folkestone, Ashford and Dover.

Please email gareth@kran.org.uk, or complete our volunteer application form to express your interest. Please see our Privacy Notice to see how we process your data.
