What is Raise in-school mentoring? 

Raise has been running in-school mentoring programs since 2008. Each week the expertly-trained volunteer mentors and young people meet at school during the school day to follow one of our structured but flexible mentoring programs. Each program is run and supported by a qualified Program Counsellor, there to provide support to both the mentors and mentees whenever they need it. The school will invite young people to take part in the program they have chosen. 

 

What programs are available?

We offer two Raise in-school mentoring programs to meet the differing needs of schools and students. They both have a flexible curriculum structure which is adapted to the specific needs of the young person.
