Volunteer Mentors needed!
22 February 2012Volunteer Recruitment for the Employment Mentoring Project is now underway and we are aiming to have 35 Mentoring relationships up and running by the end of April 2012.
We’ve had a steady stream of interest via the Manchester volunteer bureaus and the volunteering website Do It. The project recently seen its potential volunteer numbers boosted by over 50% at a ‘speed matching’ volunteering event hosted by Manchester University.
