Hello,

Have you heard about Woodcraft Folk’s mentoring scheme?

We are looking for people to be involved in the scheme in a variety of ways...

Training for Supporting Young Leaders (ASDAN accredited Mentoring Scheme)

Theme: Supporting new and young leaders through mentoring - providing skills and tools to allow you to mentor young people who are taking on roles of greater responsibility and leadership in Woodcraft Folk

Age restriction:14 +

Cost: FREE (travel fully expensed, lunch provided). 

Number of places:18

Description

All volunteers who regularly attend a group (more than once a month), or participate in residential activities, are required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service Disclosure, and become a full member of Woodcraft Folk. DBS forms can be completed online at woodcraft.org.uk/dbs-online

Please complete membership before applying for a DBS online.  

All volunteers are asked to make a commitment to the aims and principles of the Woodcraft Folk by becoming a member of the movement. Membership is free for under 16s. For everyone else, its £30 (or £12 for low/ unwaged) per year. This is a minimum donation. You can pay more if you are able. 

In simple terms a member is anyone who participates in Woodcraft Folk, and can be an adult or a child. Woodcraft Folk is a membership organisation and involves children as members of local groups and young people and adults as members of the national movement.

This workshop is designed to help young people think about roles which they would be interested in taking which having a mentor might give the added confidence and support to commit to. Also it is great for people who are interested in being mentors and would like to get a taste of what this would involve.
