Empire's Peer Mentoring Success

10 young people have successfully qualified as peer mentors. The courses were run for 10 hours per young person during the summer holidays.The attendees were all volunteers who had participated in the One to One Mentoring Programme or had been training with the Empire Amateur Boxing Club.The course covers various topics including:

• Active listening
• Effective Communication
• Respect
• Team work
• Problem solving

All participants created posters based around key skills needed to be a mentor and gave a final presentation on their understanding of the course.Each young person has now gained 2 credits from ASDAN and are certified Peer Mentors.
