Community support goes a long way

To achieve our vision of providing a mentor for every young person who needs one, we need to continue to bring new volunteer mentors on board, and connect with new school partners.  

In the communities running our school programs, we are always looking to increase our pool of trained and available mentors. In areas where Raise is less well known it's harder to recruit volunteers, because people don't know who we are. That's where we need your help.

From putting up posters at the local store or coffee shop, to a social post in a local Facebook group, to placing mentor cards in a shopping centre, handing out flyers at local events, through to an article in the council or school newsletter - support like this in the heart of the community, is a huge help to us.

See where our current schools are and reach out below if you'd like an info pack or to talk to someone about how you can help.

 

I'm keen to help out

 

 

"I am unable to mentor because of my job, but I absolutely love doing my few hours of Raise promotion every week. It's great because I can do it in my own time, so I take flyers out to the local farmers market each week and I spend a bit of time on the phone convincing local businesses to put posters up. I really feel like I'm doing my bit, because if one person sees the poster and signs up then that's one young person I helped to get a mentor!"

Seeking school partners

 

Keen to bring the community wide benefits of the Raise Youth Mentoring Program to a school near you? At Raise, we are keen to work with high schools across Australia, either online or in person, so that we can provide support to as many young people as possible. We would love to hear from you and by working together we'll do our best to make the program available near you.
