EQUIP Mentor
Mentoring
Fortnightly - 4 hours
Training Offered
Influence others positively
Mentroing is one-to-one relationship between a young person and an older adult who is focused on the young person`s growth and development. It is different from counselling in that it is provided by a volunteer, it happens "after hours" , and it is less formal and more relational.
EQUIP asks its volunteers to commit to meeting face to face with a young person approximately 4 hours a fortnight, with regular telephone contact in between meetings. The mentoring match goes for 9 months (though there are possibilities for shortening or extending that time period).
The purpose of the program is to "equip" young people for change by providing a caring, interesting and positive adult volunteer mentor.Come and learn new skills, meet new/interesting people. Also great for career development.
Current driver`s license is not essential but highly recommended.
