Teenage years are tough50% of all mental health disorders begin by age 14, often with lifelong impact. Adolescence is a complex time with so much change, physical and emotional - at Raise, we can't stop change, but we can help young people cope with it. Research shows young people who are mentored have lower levels of depression, higher sense of wellbeing, know where to go for support and are more likely to find employment and their future path.

At Raise, we do one thing and we do it really well - youth mentoring
Young people across Australia are experiencing an increasing number of challenges that impact their wellbeing. Through early intervention mentoring, we train volunteers to provide trusted adults who help young people navigate life's challenges and believe in themselves and others.
Based in high schools, we provide young people with a caring, independent volunteer mentor who shows up each week, just for them. With time to listen, one-to-one support with a mentor gives young people a voice, empowering them to cope better, today and in the future.
Volunteer to mentor
"I really valued the connection I was able to make with my mentee and also with the other mentors. It made me feel really close to my community."
“He is happier, he laughs, he is helpful and he comes for cuddles like he used to.”
“It helped to have someone to talk to. It helps me think more positively about myself and gives me more confidence.”
