A six months long pilot Mentoring programme will be organized in each country as part of the project, aiming at assisting young people leaving care to receive continuous support during their transition to adulthood; acquire specific social, financial and organizational skills and competences which will allow them to successfully transition to adulthood and reduce significantly their risk of social isolation; strengthen their sense of initiative, and motivation to continue with education and/or employment and improve their educational and vocational outcomes.
