Mentoring Changes Lives
For over a hundred years, we’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact a mentor can have for young people, families, and the community at large.
Our program is designed to help young people flourish by connecting them with a positive role model, who they can trust to provide social support, friendship and encouragement.
The program is made up of fortnightly one-to-one catch ups over a 12 month period. During this time, our young people are supported to set goals, try out new things and, most importantly, have fun.
