Voluntary Sector Gateway West Lothian, in partnership with West Lothian Council's 'More Choices, More Chances' team, is running a year long pilot mentoring project for 14 to 19 year olds.
The young people are recognised as under-achieving at school or, in the case of the 16 to 19 age group, having difficulty in finding employment.
The pilot will provide trained volunteer mentors to work with individuals for at least two hours a week.
Two schools taking part in the pilot are Bathgate Academy and Broxburn Academy.
Volunteer mentors will receive training and support throughout the pilot year. Training will take place at the Voluntary Sector Gateway in Bathgate from 6pm to 9pm on Tuesday 14, and Thursday 16 September.
Soon after training is completed, volunteer mentors will be matched to a young person who will have read their profile and asked to meet with them.
Anyone interested in becoming involved, should contact Maureen Mancini or or James Penman on 01506-650111 or Email maureen.mancini@vsgwl.org
