Mentoring Program
The Young Women’s Mentoring Program is a capacity building program for young women in senior high school with a strong emphasis on developing their leadership skill set, strengthening their interpersonal skills, building their social capital and creating greater access to local networking opportunities. The program encourages and supports young women to invest in their own potential and form a powerful and supportive peer network as well as meaningful links to positive community role models.
Fully Funded Accredited Short Courses
Each term we offer a limited number of spots to young people where they are able to complete a short course (online or face to face) fully funded by us. This will then help in employment seeking helping young people have qualifications on their resume, opportunities to have hands on experience or the opportunity to upskill to progress to another role.
