‘Mentoring Young People in Community Settings’ is an innovative programme of learning that directly builds capacity in community organisations, to enable positive mentoring opportunities to vulnerable young people.
Choice Theory is used as the underpinning theory for engaging vulnerable young people associated with this programme. Choice Theory is an approach that helps people take more effective control of their lives. It does this by teaching and utilising a very practically focused psychology which offers immediately useable skills that enable people to re-direct their own lives, make more effective choices, and develop the resilience to handle the challenges of life more successfully. Many participants have provided feedback that Choice Theory is a game changer in enhancing their performance as highly effective youth focussed practitioners. Ultimately, Choice Theory is a methodology proven to make significant change for the lives of young people, central to the mission and values of StreetGames.
The key elements of the workshop are:
- Rapport and relationship building in mentoring
- Quality worlds and how to build aspirations
- Understanding our basic needs and we can get them met in a way that doesn’t harm us or others
- Total behaviour and how we can build emotional resilience
- The perception system and how we see the world
- The where and when of the mentoring conversation
- The how of the mentoring conversation – a practical 4 step mentoring framework to explore barriers to engaging, build choices and solutions to support the young person
Who is it for: Both adults and young adults, employed workers and volunteers who are based in community settings in key roles to be able to reach, engage and support vulnerable young people.

The Mentoring Young People in Community Settings was a course that was enjoyed by all of our coaches that took part. Ruth’s knowledge and delivery lead to a very informative day. The framework given to the coaches gave them ideas and theory to base their mentoring work on. This has helped them to bring fresh and effective ideas to their mentoring role.
