When a mentee is released from prison, having a job to go to can often be critical to their future success.

A job, or paid apprenticeship, not only provides them with an income but also offers them that all important stability, routine and self-belief during a potentially chaotic time. 

In addition to jobs, we’re also looking to support our mentees in other ways, by creating partnerships with other organisations who can help in areas such as housing, education, food, clothing and travel to and from interviews.

For more information on how your organisation can get involved, or if you believe you can help please email us at info@trailblazersmentoring.org.uk

Become a Trailblazers Mentor and make a real difference to a young person’s future!

We are continuously looking for talented and dedicated individuals to join our mentor programmes around the country.

Once selected, you will be provided with all the necessary training and support you’ll need before being carefully matched with a suitable mentee at a prison near you. 

You will work with your mentee for an hour per week for 12 months (6 months before and 6 months after their release to support their reintegration into the community)
