Partners who can support you
MCR Pathways
MCR Pathways is a school-based mentoring programme. The charity was founded in 2007 to address the outcome gap between some young people and their peers. They support young people to realise their full potential through education. MCR recruits, trains and matches each volunteer mentor with a young person.
Their vision is that every young person they work with gets the same education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances as every other young person.
