What is Raise Digital?
Raise Digital is a free, online mentoring program for young people aged 13-16. Every week, for the length of the program, the young person meets 1:1 with the same expertly-trained, youth safety-checked, volunteer mentor for 45-50 minutes using Raise’s proven mentoring curriculum. Our mentors provide a safe, non-judgemental space for a young person to develop the skills they need to survive and thrive in adolescence.
Youth safety is central to everything we do at Raise. Raise Digital sessions take place within our specifically designed and built online mentoring platform and every session is supervised by our degree qualified, professional Program Counsellors.
What programs are available?
We offer two Raise Digital programs to meet the individual needs of the young person. Both have a flexible structure which is adapted to the specific needs of the young person.
17- week program
Many young people struggle during the adolescent years. Over a structured but flexible 17-week program, the mentor and young person will explore a range of topics focusing on building the skills needed to navigate adolescence and thrive.
