Peer Mentor Personal Development
All Peer Mentors complete an introductory training course designed to give them the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to feel confident in their role and responsibilities.
Additional Training Opportunities
We offer a range of additional training and development opportunities to meet the individual needs and interests of our Peer Mentors, including:
- First Aid
- Health & Safety Workshops

- Safeguarding & Child Protection
- Epilepsy & Disability Awareness
- Platinum Youth Achievement Awards
Through our affiliation with Youth 1st & Fife Voluntary Action, Peer Mentors can also access a wide range of additional training opportunities.
All training and awards help Peer Mentors to build valuable skills, strengthen their CVs and qualifications, and improve their future education, employment and career prospects.
