Discover stories about the power of mentoring

Most people can name someone who helped shape, even change, the course of their life for the better. Picture the person, the moment, the time. Often the smallest of gestures have the biggest impact, it’s never forgotten.  In Letters to My Mentor, Raise ambassadors and advocates share letters they’ve written about the impact their mentors made on them.

 

   

Mentors look different for everyone. Whether it's a teacher from primary school, a relative or a neighbour who lives down the street – they all have something in common; they offer support when it's needed it most.

Ellia Green OAM, Matt Shirvington and Alison Brahe-Daddo share their thoughts on the power of having a mentor and read a letter to their special mentor.
