Raise Youth Mentoring Program - 2021 Evaluation

At Raise, we do one thing and we do it really well – youth mentoring

We deliver in school mentoring for one hour a week for 20 weeks, typically for year 8 students. Our qualified Program Counsellor oversees volunteer mentors who work one on one with your students. We know the statistics below all too well and we also know the teenage years are a challenging time for young people. Since 2008, we’ve made it our mission to positively impact youth wellbeing and engagement through early intervention mentoring programs. We know that support from a caring independent mentor during this time can help young people cope better with life’s challenges. That’s why we deliver our evidence-based, best-practice youth mentoring programs to over 130 public secondary schools right across Australia.
