Leaving Care Mentorship

Do you have a passion for supporting young people?

The CONNECT mentoring program assists young people in care that are 16 years and above.

The aim of CONNECT is to build a sustainable friendship with a young person and provide social interaction and community engagement.

Mentoring may include practical tasks such as learning to drive. Mentors are provided with training and ongoing supervision while involved in the program.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Barb Mills, Leaving Care Mentoring Practitioner, on 5337 3333 or via email [email protected].
