Mentoring is a crucial part of supporting young people’s growth and development. Our approach is personalised and comprehensive. Trained, experienced mentors identify each young person’s specific needs and preferences, then work with them and their family to create a tailored plan. The plan covers a range of activities and strategies, all designed to help them reach their unique goals and aspirations.
Our sessions include a wide range of enjoyable activities in the community, such as hiking, sports, art, music, catching public transport, community events, volunteering and social groups.
These activities help young people develop social skills, self-esteem and a sense of belonging.
We also focus on the key life skills young people need as they prepare for adulthood, including time management, creating good habits and study skills. These help them become more independent, responsible and self-sufficient.
Goal setting is a key part of our mentoring. We work with young people to set realistic, achievable goals for themselves, then provide guidance and support to help them reach those goals. By setting and achieving goals together, young people build self-confidence, motivation and a sense of purpose. No goal is out of reach, and guidance, support and companionship are the key to success.
Mentoring at Generation Youth is enjoyable, engaging and fun. It empowers young people to reach their full potential, develop key life skills and achieve their goals. Our mentors are dedicated to giving young people the support they need to succeed in life.
