People
Raise works hard to attract, develop and retain a highly skilled and experienced group of people in our ‘village’ including Mentors, Team Members, Program Counsellors, Board Directors, Advisory Councils and Ambassadors. Our team consists of extraordinary professionals who are personally committed to improving the lives of young Australians and who are experts in their field.
Outstanding results in our recent culture survey speak volumes about the way we work and the passion of our team - 97% of our team told us they feel engaged with our purpose and vision, 96% believe our leaders act with integrity, 94% believe that we are committed to best practice in our industry, 98% feel that their work is extremely or very meaningful, and 94% are proud to work for Raise. Raise has evolved from a small, family-and-friends-oriented start up to a professional large- tier NFP organisation registered on the ACNC with DGR status.
We have recruited highly skilled experts in program development, people management, marketing, fundraising, evaluation, technology, risk, transformation and finance to build an effective central support hub for the organisation, and in preparation for large scale growth. We are a kind and close-knit team who has fun together, while fulfilling the important work of supporting as many young Australians as possible through one-to-one mentoring. Raise is also fortunate to have the expertise and connections of its Leadership Team, Board of Directors, Patron’s Advisory Council chaired by David Gonski AC, Fundraising Advisory Council chaired by Andrew Birch, Research Advisory Council chaired by Professor Lucas Walsh and Youth Advisory Council chaired by Alana Faust. In 2022, we are looking forward to rejuvenating our School Advisory Council.
