What is one way the Prince's Trust helps young people at risk of offending?

• A. By providing mentoring and opportunities for training or employment.
• B. By building new prisons.
• C. By conducting surveys.
• D. By fundraising for campaigns.

Answer: (A)

Mentoring and practical pathways into training and work are what help at‑risk young people move away from offending. A mentor provides steady support, positive guidance, and a reliable role model, which builds confidence, decision‑making skills, and resilience. When that support is paired with real opportunities—training, education, and employment—you give young people tangible options for the future. This combination tackles both personal development and practical barriers, reducing triggers or pressures that might lead to crime and helping them gain stability and purpose.

The other options don’t align with how the Prince’s Trust operates: building prisons is punitive and outside their mission; conducting surveys is about gathering data rather than delivering support; fundraising campaigns are related activities charities do but don’t directly address the day‑to‑day needs of youths to keep them away from offending.
