Resources

The SAYes Resource Bank for mentors and mentees

The goal of SAYes is to support young people leaving children’s homes by providing them with mentoring that will enable them to develop their skills, further their education and source suitable housing, in order for them to participate in society as independent, self-sustaining adults. To that end we have developed the SAYes Resource Bank.

What is the Resource Bank?

The SAYes Resource Bank (RB) is a PDF document containing a directory of websites and contacts on topics ranging from counselling to CV tips, and from further education to finding employment.

Who is the Resource Bank intended for?

The primary audience is the growing number of mentors and mentees who have passed through the TIL programme. Now that this document is available from the SAYes website we hope it will be seen by many more young people embarking on a path to independent living, a fulfilling life and a rewarding career.

How often is the Resource Bank updated?

The Resource Bank is updated four times a year.
