About the role

Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people on the NSW Mid Coast?

The NSW State Government have recently funded an new program called Youth Frontiers. It's a mentoring program targeted at young people in Years 8 and/or 9 who are not achieving at their highest possible level in school and who would benefit from having a mentor. Each young person will develop and implement a community service project as part of the program.

There are 3 half day group sessions to attend throughout the program and a final half day showcase to celebrate the achievements of the program.

This is an exciting opportunity to support young people and give back to your local community so if you are a natural mentor (Aged 18-80) and are ready for a challenge, please forward a brief expression of interest (1-2 paragraphs) outlining why you would like to become a mentor, along with your contact details to mel@futureachievementaustralia.com.au

All successful mentors will be required to undergo a criminal history check & a working with children certification.

This year;s participants saw some great outcomes in their lives and for the community. The students grew in

– confidence

– communication skills

– motivation

– capacity to relate to people from other generations

Students' projects and the program overall have become catalysts for other community initiatives and collaboration. Join your local community in this rewarding program now.
