New project worker being sought

After a month of recuperation, I am back at work but have resigned due to ongoing health issues. As a person with cystic fibrosis, the mind is willing but the body doesn't always keep up. C'est la vie.

The most frustrating part of resigning from this position is that the Barwon South West youth mentoring forum planned for August - and the huge interest it was generating - was really helping develop the momentum to 'put youth mentoring on the map', as Jeanette Pritchard would say. I have would loved to be around to help use that momentum to develop serious action in the region.

However, I will be staying at Brophy working part time on the Kalay Wartee Indigenous youth mentoring program. I will be rescheduling the Colac forum for late October and hopefully we will have a new worker on board by then to participate and for everyone to meet. The forum will be important for maintaining momentum and assisting the Regional Coordination Project worker develop their workplan for the Barwon South West.

If you are interested in the position of Regional Mentoring Coordination project worker for the Barwon South West, contact Monica Smith at Brophy on 5561 8888. Cheers, Damien
