Youth mentoring supports young people experiencing difficult family circumstances, low self-esteem, problems at school or socially.
Our mentoring program supports young people who are between the ages of 12 and 17, and may be experiencing challenges with family, personal and educational circumstances, to build positive relationships with caring and supportive mentors from the community.
Referrals to this program can be made by case workers, school staff, community workers, or health service workers. Speak with one of our Uniting support staff if you or someone you know may benefit from this program.
Mentors spend a couple of hours a week with the young person for the first 3 months, and after that are encouraged to continue weekly or fortnightly visits.

Volunteer mentors come from all walks of life, young and old, and have a variety of skills and abilities.
