Raise Foundation | Evaluation Report 2022

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.
“It has taught me that there is so much more to life than the everyday stresses. My time with my mentee has reminded me to stop and enjoy the simple things in life, like practicing my hobbies, spending time with family and friends. It has highlighted the importance of giving back to your community and never taking anything in life for granted.” - Liz, Mentor
