We’re seeing real

Transformation

Young people flourish when they are given the right tools, and a space to explore their story and identity. Our success is measured by the change and congruence we see in the lives of the students and their wider community:

  • Increased engagement with school and completion of education.

  • Behaviour improvement as a result of a growing understanding and development of themselves and their story.

  • Reconciliation of relationships as children connect more deeply with those around them.

  • A growing vision and hope to become adults of courage and character.

"I've been able to wake up in the mornings with a different perspective on School and I’m thinking positively about life now." — Eden Mentee

WHAT WE OFFER

PRIORITY MENTORING

We provide intentional 1:1 mentoring for students in secondary schools across Norfolk. We create a safe space that provides the perfect conditions for growth, allowing students to step away from the ordinary to engage in big picture thinking about their future, current decisions and who they want to be.

GROUP WORKSHOPS

While our 1:1 mentoring provides deep individual transformation, our group workshops are designed to create a shared space where students can navigate the challenges of modern culture together. These sessions cover things like navigating online content, building healthy relationships, and tackling misogyny.

We support educators with the tools to navigate the complex digital world their students inhabit. We offer staff training on: understanding and tackling the roots of misogyny, creating community amongst young people, managing the online world, and creating healthy masculinity cultures for boys.

STAFF TRAINING

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

We deliver thought provoking, high-impact sessions designed to champion our young people and equip our communities to best support them. These include assemblies, parent/community gatherings or presentations with flexible formats to meet specific local needs.

Our Mentors

Eden Mentoring is delivered as a relationship-led, school-embedded support initiative, and all mentoring activity takes place within the school’s existing safeguarding framework. Eden Mentors work alongside the school to compliment existing support pathways and to ensure young people are safe, supported and protected at all times.

Our mentors are carefully selected, thoroughly vetted, and trained to operate at the highest standards. They are recruited with appropriate background and reference checks, only work with pupils in designated school spaces and times, and engage in regular supervision to ensure that support is both safe and effective. We ensure that any concerns, disclosures or risks identified during mentoring sessions are communicated promptly and appropriately, in line with school policy.

How to get started

The young people in your behaviour rooms have the potential to be our future leaders . It’s about creating an intentional space to respond to progressive masculinity and the modern challenges to youth, to come alongside young people and embody the values and vision of your school.

Key Question: What impact would be made within your school community if every year your top 20 behavioural priority boys / girls were skillfully mentored into creating hope, values and vision for their lives at school and beyond?

Who do we want our young people to become, and how can we be intentional about giving them a pathway to explore this?

We want to roll this out to more High Schools in Norfolk. 

We suggest a mentor starts by coming into school one day per week to mentor 5 students at a time. We charge £25 per session, offering 5 × 50 min sessions per school day.

  1. Your team meets with a certified Eden Mentor. You get to know them and see if they align with the vision and values of your community.

  2. You onboard the mentor if successful - It’s your Safeguarding policy and your reporting pathway. All our mentors are safely recruited and DBS checked. 

  3. Decide a day of the week and an appropriate meeting space.

  4. Choose your first 5 young people. 

  5. Reflect, discuss and learn as you go.
