Who is Blooming Minds for?
At KORI, our primary emphasis is on young individuals who may find themselves isolated or vulnerable due to a lack of financial support, compassionate guidance, and access to opportunities essential for their transition into adulthood. This includes young carers, refugees, looked-after young people, and those confronting significant challenges during their formative years. Through our tailored interventions, we aim to offer positive experiences that empower them to break free from the adverse effects of disadvantaged circumstances, fostering an overall improvement in their general well-being.
Blooming Mind’s Mentoring
At KORI, our bespoke mentoring is tailored to the unique needs of each person, extending for a duration of up to 18 months. Through this transformative journey, mentees not only cultivate a profound understanding of their personal needs and motivations but also overcome challenges, propelling them towards progress in their lives. For those who choose to volunteer with us, whether as individuals, organisations, or companies, engaging in a mentoring capacity becomes a reciprocal experience. The process not only contributes to the mentee’s growth but also enriches the learning and values of our dedicated volunteers. It’s a shared journey of empowerment and mutual development.
