Raise Youth Mentor - Sutherland Shire, NSW
Build a brighter future today. Mentor a young person.
Raise strives to empower young minds through early intervention mentoring, equipping young people with lifelong skills for a brighter future.
As experts in our field, we’ll train you for success before matching you with a mentee. You’ll then be the key to transforming that young person’s life so they can face a brighter future. Ongoing evaluation shows that mentoring transforms lives – for mentees and mentors. Mentees are supported to improve their mental health via help seeking skills, improve their confidence, resilience and sense of belonging. Mentors report significant positive benefits as well – in communication skill development, connection to their community, sense of purpose and more.
