Volunteering with Chance UK
Without volunteers who give us their time to become Chance UK mentors, we would not be able to make such a lasting and positive change to the lives of vulnerable children and their families.

The type of volunteers we need
We are looking for volunteers who have a genuine interest in mentoring children. No particular background or experience is required; however, successful applicants will possess the following qualities:
> a clear, sensitive and friendly style of communication;
> an ability to get on well with children;
> a sense of responsibility and common sense;
> excellent listening skills and patience;
> warmth, enthusiasm and a sense of humour;
> reliability, self-motivation and tenacity.
The mentoring relationship lasts for a year. Each mentor must commit to meeting his/her child once a week during that year. The mentor must also agree to attend monthly meetings with a Chance UK programme manager to review progress and agree priorities for forthcoming mentoring sessions.
