Foróige’s MentorMe programme offers a unique, flexible approach to mentoring by encouraging young people to choose their own mentor from within their social circle—whether it’s a teacher, coach, family friend, or another trusted adult. This model ensures that mentoring feels natural and relevant to the young person’s needs while still benefiting from the structure and guidance of Foróige staff.
The programme follows a guided mentoring process, with Foróige staff providing training and support to both the young person and their chosen mentor. This ensures the relationship is positive, goal-focused, and effective in helping the young person navigate challenges, develop confidence, and build life skills. MentorMe aligns with Tusla’s Signs of Safety approach, encouraging young people to first look within their own networks for support while still receiving expert guidance throughout the process.
