"I really appreciated the program and setting aside time out of my week to invest in something outside of work and university studies and on something I was passionate about. I'm a psychology student and the chance to apply theoretical knowledge to practical application has been invaluable. I’m now more aware of current adolescent struggles and new technologies which permeate all aspects of adolescent life and wellbeing." - Student with Raise
"I observed remarkable growth in several newly inducted mentors. One in particular, was completing the final term of a Cert IV in Youth Work. By his own account, at each week’s mentor debrief, he professed to have been richly rewarded through his interaction with his mentee. He asserted that all the theory suddenly took on another perspective in that his emotional intelligence was enlightened. He found himself engaging in active listening with the intent to understand, not reply. He was immersed in empathy for his mentee as this young person battled challenges." - Raise Facilitator
The richness of the experience this mentor experienced is validated in that he has testified that he’s found his passion in working with youth.
