Communities Mentorship Programme
This innovative programme offers training and support to individuals in Scotland who want to inspire their own communities to take local environmental action and become more sustainable. The TCV Scotland Community Mentors Programme continues to develop a network of Community Mentors throughout Scotland through a series of regional training and support programmes. Since May 2009, we’ve trained 120 Community Mentors throughout Scotland.
Here’s what they thought about the programme:
'The workshop was fantastic, it inspired me to have a go and made me realise that I can make a difference'
'Highly motivating, I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to take environmental action'
'Excellent - every environment or sustainability group should attend. I got loads of ideas and practical advice'
'Got me thinking about the other changes I could make in my life and community to make the world a better place'
The programme starts with a 2 day training workshop which will provide participants with the skills and knowledge to engage their community. Participants work on developing their own unique skills, producing Action Plans for their communities and learning tools to take forward practical Community Projects to improve the local environment and take action for a more sustainable planet.
After the workshop, participants receive ongoing support from local TCV Scotland staff, resources and access to national and local skills sharing and networking events.
