welcome
Young People need supportive relationships to fulfil their potential. In today's complex world many young people need more support and do benefit greatly from a relationship with a person outside their family circle.
The Standing Tall Mentoring in-school program recruits and trains members of the community to become mentors to students in schools. It has shown that the relationships developed through mentoring can make a real difference to a student struggling to cope with a wide range of issues.
Mentors meet with their mentee during school hours for approximately 1 hour per week for twelve months and up to two years with the same student. The program does not run during school holidays and is flexible to mentors time commitments.
