Causing a ripple effect…
Raise mentees aren’t the only ones who get something out of our mentoring program – our mentors consistently tell us how much they benefited from the experience. They are often pleasantly surprised by how applicable the skills they’ve learnt are to their daily lives. Raise mentors saw statistically significant improvements in their:
Confidence in their ability to mentor a young person outside of Raise
Understanding of youth issues
Empathy for young people
Going forward, Raise mentors will be more comfortable checking in with young people in their own lives – and better equipped to support them. These outcomes help contribute to our broader goal of creating thriving communities.
“I enjoy listening to young people and their thoughts and ideas about life, the future and how they feel about themselves. Giving them a sounding board is rewarding.” - Liz, Mentor
