Enhancing safety standards Our rigorous safety practices are continually reviewed and improved. Alongside completing our best practice Raise Youth Mentor Training Course, Raise Mentors complete the compulsory Working with Children Checks and National Crime Checks relevant to their states. This year, Raise partnered with Oho, the first always-on national verification system to enhance our volunteer screening processes and enable us to quickly identify individuals who do not meet our selection criteria.
Creating connection We’re delighted that 93% of mentors reported feeling an improved connection with their community and expressed a greater likelihood of volunteering after mentoring with us – demonstrating Raise’s impact in fostering strong, connected, and thriving communities. We continue to connect with other private, public and not-for-profit organisations across the sector to support them with Mentor Training for staff and volunteers. We’re committed to upskilling more people in formal and informal mentoring, knowing it contributes to nurturing communities built on hope and empowerment. This belief sparked our Strategic Impact Project team’s resolve to resource and implement our Social Enterprise initiative in 2024. Watch this space!
