Hereford Mentoring Circles

A place to belong, a space to be yourself. Mentoring circles for teenage boys near Hereford. No pressure, no judgement. Held by trained, DBS-checked male mentors.

We meet every other Monday at the Steiner Academy

Mentors and boys meet around the fire every other week. The circle is a place to say what is going on in your life and be heard without judgement or expectation. Boys who come regularly are invited to the Rites of Passage Adventure in spring and autumn.

Next mentoring circle: , 7 to 9pm

“This is a place where they can remove their masks and be their authentic self, and in that moment they are just seen, and they are blessed for who they are, what they believe in, and what they stand for.”
