Growing2getherÂ
Growing2gether is a Scottish charity that supports young people struggling with mental health, poverty, and challenging childhood experiences. We believe in giving all young people the chance to realise their unique potential. By using positive psychology we help show young people who they are and who they can become.
Our innovative early intervention and youth-led programmes are proven by robust evaluation to increase mental health, educational attainment and life skills. By discovering their potential, young people can contribute to stronger communities and create a better future for all.
Our Innovative Programmes
Growing2gether is the only charity in Scotland to pair young people as mentors to nursery children needing extra support, using positive psychology to build their mental health, confidence and life skills. It is unique because it benefits not only the young person but also the child. Mentoring another child also earns the young person an interpersonal skills qualification.
Our Growing2gether Community programme builds on from our Mentoring programme to create a Youth Social Action Group, where young people consult with their local community to design youth-led community projects, partnering with local mentors. Young people can also: join the Youth Leadership Board; undertake Young Leader training to co- deliver our projects.
