Raise Youth Mentoring Program – Oberon High School

Oberon High School would like to express their immense gratitude in being involved in the RAISE Youth Mentoring Program in 2023. It is an extraordinary initiative that has had an undeniable impact on the students who were lucky enough to be part of the 24 week program. From the very beginning, the program exhibited a commitment to fostering the development of meaningful relationships, creating an environment where students were able to build connections and open up. The mentors assigned to Oberon were selfless and committed, each bringing a wealth of experience and guidance to the program. The impact of the RAISE program on Oberon’s development has been nothing short of transformative. The personalised mentorship received by all students instilled a sense of confidence and resilience. The mentors went above and beyond, addressing crucial life skills, goal-setting, and emotional intelligence. This holistic approach supported each of our students, on their journey to becoming well-rounded individuals ready to face the challenges of the future. I wholeheartedly recommend the RAISE Youth Mentoring Program to other schools without reservation. The positive outcomes experienced by Oberon students are a testament to the program’s effectiveness. The dedication of the mentors and the carefully curated program has proven to be instrumental in equipping these young minds with the skills and confidence needed to navigate the complexities of adolescence and beyond. The RAISE program has not only met but exceeded our expectations. It has set a benchmark for youth mentoring programs, proving that investing in the holistic development of students produces remarkable results. Oberon’s journey with RAISE has been a beacon of inspiration, and I am confident that this program has potential to positively impact countless other students across different schools.

Yours sincerely,

Tess Ellard Year 7 & 8 Sub School Manager
