Sova Croydon Young People’s Project

At the Sova Croydon Young People’s Project we find, train and support volunteer mentors to work with local young people and their families. Our mentors work closely with young people who have offended, who are at risk of offending or are excluded from school, to help them to stay out of trouble.

Mentors are there to motivate and support young people to make the right choices; whether that’s encouraging them to go to school, helping to build their confidence and self-esteem or by finding ways to tackle problems with behaviour. Sometimes mentors are simply there as a trusted person to talk to. Whatever our mentors do it makes a real difference to a young person to know they have someone who is on their side, who has chosen to be there for them. We also offer mentoring to parents who need advice and support.

All of our volunteers receive accredited training. The Sova Croydon Young People’s Project is funded by the Croydon Youth Offending Service.
