Mentor Feedback

What Mentors Notice

Mentors consistently report the same pattern: once young people have structure, encouragement, and practical goals, their confidence rises fast—especially when they see small wins turning into real progress.

★★★★★

“The biggest shift is confidence. Once they realise they can make decisions, test ideas, and recover from mistakes, their mindset changes completely.”
