Why mentoring matters
Young Australians are facing a mental health and wellbeing crisis:
1 in 4 young people experience bullying.
1 in 6 feel negative about the future.
1 in 12 are disengaged from education or work.
Suicide is a leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
The teenage years are tough, but having a Mentor can change everything.
Research shows that a caring, non-parental Mentor helps teens build resilience, belonging, and hope for the future.
Since 2008, we’ve supported over 16,000 teenagers (aged 13-15) and trained over 10,000 volunteer youth mentors who are making an impact in their communities and families.
