What is a mentor?
At Connect, a Mentor takes responsibility for helping other people within the group, guiding everyone to follow the rules (including staff), and making sure that Connect stays a safe space for everyone involved.

What is a peer mentor?
Peer Mentors understand the guidelines that Connect provide and ensure that these are upheld amongst everybody, while taking on responsibilities when asked.
Our team members are dedicated to helping the young people who attend Connect Alloa. They ensure that Connect is a safe space where young people can enjoy themselves, get involved in different activities and make friends.
