Mentoring
Important Information
The Youth Futures WA Mentoring program is a complimentary, voluntary program for clients who are already accessing the agency's services.
The program is of most benefit to young people who are disengaged from services, family and their local community. Mentoring consists of ongoing one to one, professional and developmental relationships, which involves a mentor providing informal support to their mentee. The mentoring is heavily focused on:
-
The needs of the mentee
-
Providing a caring and supportive environment
-
Encouraging mentees to reach their fullest potential
-
Developing a mentees vision for the future and working towards attaining it
Activities are conducted aimed at reducing anti-social behaviour and encouraging positive behaviours.
Accessing This Service
Mentoring is available to any young person currently accessing a service within Youth Futures WA.
Mentoring is currently supported by the Australian Children's Trust and is based on a service framework that is strongly supported by government, corporate business and community organisations as an effective means of working with at risk young people.
