Oxfordshire Youth Mentoring Service
The Oxfordshire Youth Mentoring Service (OYMS) works with young people living in Oxford City, Abingdon, Banbury, Berinsfield and West Oxon, and provides specialist-mentoring support to unaccompanied child asylum seekers.
Mentoring is a voluntary one-to-one relationship between a young person and a supportive adult. They work together to help make constructive changes in the life and behaviour of the young person.
OYMS recruits, trains and supports adult volunteer mentors from local communities.
The service is funded and managed by Oxfordshire County Councils Youth Support Services, with external funding from other partnership agencies, such as Thames Valley Police, Oxfordshire Social Services and the Youth Justice Board.
