At Raise, we see the transformative power of mentoring every day. This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women who make up the heart of our programs—our mentors.
Transforming Young Lives – School's Perspective on Mentoring
When I first heard about Raise, I was walking my dog and noticed a bus shelter advertisement. The challenges young people face today hit home instantly.
The idea of mentoring first crossed my mind during one of those long, quiet COVID lockdowns in 2020. Maybe it was the cabin fever, or just a moment of clarity, but I realised I wanted to do something meaningful after it was over—something that felt worthwhile. Of course, actually starting was another thing entirely. I wasn’t sure where to begin, so the idea just sat there, waiting for the right time.
