How the program works
Our Model We run the program for you on the same day and time across Terms 2 and 3 and the first 3 weeks of Term 4. As an early intervention program, we most commonly mentor students aged 13-15 years, usually in Year 8 and 9 who are showing early signs of disengagement. School staff noticed improvements in school engagement for students in the Raise program, even in a COVID year, including:
Building hope and resilience We help schools achieve their goals and KPIs for student attendance, engagement and wellbeing. Aligned with the government wellbeing framework, we provide an opportunity to actively engage students to enhance their own wellbeing. Students that graduate from the Raise Youth Mentoring Program see an increase in their resilience, improved hope for the future and are better able to cope and recover when they are faced with difficulties. Reaching those at risk of disengaging Our qualified counsellors match up to 15 young people in your school with their own volunteer mentor, and together they deliver one-to-one support across a 20 week program. Effectively extending the capacity of a school’s wellbeing team by 15 hours a week, the program provides 300 hours of additional support to young people who might otherwise be unreachable. Youth safety is paramount to Raise The program is fully supervised by a qualified Raise Program Counsellor, who is your single point of contact for the program duration. Raise recruits, screens and trains volunteer mentors to be part of your school based program. These mentors are screened for both child safety and suitability and must complete a police check and comply with legislated WWCC requirements. In addition to compliance to the school rules, all our mentors are bound by the Raise Code of Conduct. We operate to a comprehensive and detailed Youth Safety Framework.
