Brightside online mentoring programmes
Project Outcome Targets
We support the growth of behavioural skills, like self-efficacy, to build confidence.
We provide the relevant information they need and want to make important decisions about futures.
Mentors increase mentees’ social capital by providing a space to explore interests and options.

-
We evaluate projects to identify areas of improvement for delivery and outcome change.

We systematically integrate mentee, mentor, and partner feedback for continual improvement.
