Mentor training
Our Mentors are the life force of our organisation, and we consider them to be part of our Raise team. We cannot thank them enough for their commitment to our organisation. Without them, we simply would be unable to support any young people at all. Raise Mentors are extraordinary people, extremely generous with their time and experience. They can help change the course of a young person’s life and the time they spend with them now can have
an impact that lasts their lifetime. Alongside completing our best-practice Raise Youth Mentor Training course, consisting of 6 online modules and one day group training (face to face or virtual), Raise Mentors complete compulsory Working with Children and National Crime Checks. They then choose which School they would like to volunteer in, dedicating 2 hours each week to a young person in need for two school terms.
Raise Foundation is the only youth mentoring organisation in Australia that offers such comprehensive mentor training, which is one of our key differentiators. We are extremely passionate about providing this training for our Mentors, so they become highly qualified volunteers with outstanding mentoring skills. The mentoring skills that our volunteers learn are transferrable to other facets of their lives such as assisting with paid work, parenting skills, mentoring in the workplace, and community involvement with young people.
“The training was really engaging and instilled a lot of confidence and knowledge in us as Mentors.” – Rebecca, Mentor
