Youth Mentoring Forum rescheduled to October 30th

The 'Youth Mentoring - Communities Delivering on the Promise' forum cancelled in August has been rescheduled to Thursday 30th October. I will be contacting anyone who registered previously to see if they still wish to attend. If we have spaces remaining I will then open to others.

'Youth Mentoring - Communities delivering on the promise'

  • Learn how well-run youth mentoring programs can help connect young people to their communities and improve personal, educational and social outcomes.
  • Hear stories from current program coordinators on the highlights, challenges and implications of running successful youth mentoring programs
  • What does the research say about the benefits and limitations of youth mentoring?
  • Discuss regional and community responses - how can we get there from here?

Hear from guest speaker Jeanette Pritchard from the successful 'Standing Tall' mentoring model at Baimbridge College and other coordinators, mentors and young people involved in mentoring programs across the Barwon South West region.

The forum will be facilitated by Damien Becker of the Barwon South West Youth Mentoring Network who are coordinating this event in partnership with the national Youth Mentoring Network.
