Connect 2 Mentoring Program
This program provides one-to-one support to a young person who may be in school or in transition from school to work. The mentoring relationship occurs at local High Schools, United Synergies and in the broader community.
Mentors provide their time and commitment to a young person for a few hours a week over 12 months. Activities may include assignment research and writing, goal setting, learning new skills, resume writing and job seeking, attending open days at TAFE, University and careers events, or just hanging out together. Prior to matching with young people mentors complete an accredited training program. The program is supported by thoroughly documented policies and procedures including a Mentor Handbook and Program Manual. This has been a highly successful program with 100% of young people mentored becoming actively engaged in education, employment or both, plus significant other benefits.
