Mentoring is open to young people aged 14-21. Once you have registered on the project you will be matched with a mentor who is fully trained and is working professionally within the arts and creative industries.

Mentors work with young people for 1-2 hours a month on a voluntary basis to help develop the skills, knowledge and aspirations of their mentee.

I want to be a mentor / I want to be mentored

I am already a mentor / I am already being mentored

The MYAN Mentoring programme exists to support young people in Manchester who wish to develop their creative skills on a professional level. Young people are matched with professionals who work within the creative industries from across the city. Professionals work with the young people on a one to one basis to help them develop their skills, knowledge and aspirations.

The programme has been running for two years and we are now ready to train our third cohort of mentors to help expand and develop the programme into an exciting future.

We are seeking arts professionals working from across the arts and creative industries to volunteer 1 or 2 hours of their time per month to help a young person.

Volunteer Mentors will complete a training programme that is fully accredited, recognised nationally and FREE.

Tuesday 13th May, 10am-5pm

Then Thursday evenings, 6-9pm, 15th May-12th June
