<p><p>Help young people discover a&nbsp;brighter future! &nbsp;Volunteer mentors needed in Inverness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Are you over 16 years of age with time available to help young people reach their full potential and get on&nbsp;the path to work?<br />
If you can spare a day or two a week, join our team on our trailblazing canal college outdoors on the&nbsp;Caledonian Canal in Inverness. &nbsp;No specific skills are required to be a canal college mentor and help young people, who haven&rsquo;t been able to&nbsp;get a job or place in further education, learn a raft of new heritage and environment skills and improve their&nbsp;prospects for a brighter future. We are looking for mentors who can be patient, supportive and&nbsp;encourgaging.</p>

<ul>
	<li>Do you have the skills to help us teach landscaping, tree and vegetation management,&nbsp;stonework, conservation, archaeology, trail creation, engineering or maintenance?</li>
	<li>Can you help us encourage a good understanding of the many job opportunities within the&nbsp;heritage and environment sectors or how these skills might transfer to other roles?</li>
	<li>Perhaps you can help our young people develop confidence, improve their self-esteem and&nbsp;develop the softer skills needed to behave and flourish in a work environment?</li>
</ul>
