VOLUNTEER MENTORS needed now!
Volunteer mentors for young people in Hume
Education First Youth (EFY) Foyer in Broadmeadows is looking now for mentors for our mid-year program.
We provide support to young people between the ages of 16-24 who are unable to live at home. We provide access to mainstream education, training and employment opportunities, whilst the young people live in student-style accommodation, located on Kangan TAFE Campus. During their two year stay, the students receive safe and affordable accommodation, opportunities to develop independent living skills, and coaching and 24 hour on-site support from trained staff.
The Mentoring Program in the EFY Foyers’ aims to connect students with an interested and committed adult who can help them explore their personal and professional aspirations for the future and provide them with guidance, support and encouragement in a confidential, non-judgemental, respectful manner. Like coaches, mentors work with students through this exploration, which equips the mentee with the tools to replicate good relationships elsewhere: this is considered a major positive outcome in and of itself.
