A MENTORING(导师制)program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury  youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students  and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.

    Alex Goldberg, the program’s founder, said:"We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden  their outlook."

"We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships(实习)with world-famous firms such as Honda. 

At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this

kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help

youth  with  their  school  work  and  grades  and  to  give  them  opportunities  which  may  help  shape their futures."

    Kieran Hepburn,  14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. On October the Banbury School pupil was ac companied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s(UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).

    The event was held for young people from  around  the world  to  seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers, mostly in their 20s  and  was  the  only  UK  school  pupil  to  attend  the  event.  Kieran  thinks  the  trip  was  a  life changing  experience. "Before  we  left I  didn't  quite  know  what to  make  of  it,  but when  we  got there we didn't stop. It was amazing." he said, "We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon."

    The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It

dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.

    Kieran  said: "It has  really helped  me  to improve  my confidence  and  social  skills  as well  as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August."
