The Volunteer Case Officers (VCOs) come with varying levels of experience. Not all learning can happen through training alone. Mentoring for VCOs is a platform to:

• Translate training into real-life practice and provides on the ground guidance

• Facilitate cross-learning between VCOs and strengthen collective capability and shared practice

• Build a community of support among VCOs

The objectives of the mentoring are to:

• Provide Support - For new VCOs as they embark on their volunteer work with offenders in the community

• Develop Capability- Build skills through ongoing and practical guidance to newer VCOs

• Foster Learning - Promote reflection and peer exchange of experiences, practices and resources among VCOs
