Make a difference in a young person’s life – become a Volunteer Mentor

What’s involved?

We’ll carefully match you with a young person based on your interests and strengths. Together, you’ll catch up in the community for around 3 hours every fortnight. This might look like:

Visiting a local market or gallery Sharing a coffee and a chat • Helping them explore career or study options • Getting active – walking, sport, or a game of pool Your time and encouragement can help reduce disconnection, build life skills, and create a strong sense of belonging for the young person you’re matched with. We’ll provide full training and ongoing support in the role.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Are friendly, reliable and open-minded
• Enjoy spending time with young people and are curious to learn from them
• Can set healthy boundaries and offer guidance in a respectful way
• Have a flexible schedule and can commit to meeting every two weeks
• Are happy to travel a short distance to meet your mentee
• Hold a Victorian driver’s licence and are comfortable driving a young person (this is a bonus, not a must)
