As part of our commitment and ambition to offer our program in schools right across Australia, we know that we have to explore newmethods to accommodate the very landscape of our country. Expanding into rural and remote areas alone will pose challenges to our program delivery that we must address through innovation and creativity. Currently we are exploring an online only program offering, as well as Youth Initiated Mentoring (YIM). Throughout 2021 Raise ran 5 pilot online onlymentoring programs, across 4 schools: Innovating our delivery models by exploring online only mentoring

Next steps: We believe that online mentoring could play an important role in our ability to offer mentoring to more young people as we scale our program Online mentoring could be a vehicle for offering mentors to young people in regional and rural areas We are currently exploring technological options for replicating our best practice, one-to-one and face-to-face program for an online model that adheres to our Youth Safety Framework
