Youth Mentoring

At Liminal, we provide comprehensive youth mentoring services designed to support daily living and offer meaningful guidance both at home and within the community. We recognise the varied challenges young people encounter and believe that having an experienced, compassionate mentor to navigate life skills can significantly enhance well-being and nurture a strong sense of connection.

Our approach is participant-led, placing each individual at the centre of their own journey. This cultivates a genuine sense of agency and empowerment, while allowing mentors to identify key areas for growth and address potential barriers to progress. The result is a dynamic, adaptable program that not only strengthens resilience but also inspires young people to imagine and pursue a more positive future.
