YouthNet is ‘A very rewarding experience’

It was very easy for the Argus Group to give even more to YouthNet.

CEO Alison Hill’s personal experiences recognized it as “powerful” in helping young people.

Argus will be supporting West Pembroke Primary School through YouthNet, a new Business Partnership Initiative of local mentoring. 

As part of the partnership, volunteers from Argus have been visiting the school on a weekly basis to read to and mentor two classes of P2 students. In addition to time investment, Argus has also made a financial donation to YouthNet to cover the cost of the books used. 

Ms Hill said in a press release: “My fellow mentors and I have found the YouthNet partnership to be a very rewarding experience, personally and professionally. 

“By working as a team, we share our commitment to West Pembroke School. Mentoring is widely recognised as a powerful strategy for empowering young people to shape their own world around success by keeping them focused on developing their strengths and new skills. The work that YouthNet does and this partnership provides a vehicle to combine our resources to deliver real results.” n
