Youth mentoring at Woy Woy

 

The regional youth mentoring service, Plan-It Youth, is hoping to establish a program for year 10 students at Woy Woy.

The service is seeking volunteers to help high school students who are thinking about leaving school and need help to set work-related goals.

Training is free and mentors are given full support and ongoing training opportunities.

Volunteers may be retired, retrenched, looking for work, interested community citizens, a grandparent or parent and have ranged in age from 25 to 82 years.

Mentors' skills and life experiences may make a real difference for a young person in the local community, according to service organisers.

They are expected to contribute a couple of hours each week, and have a positive outlook and an interest in young people.

To find out about information sessions, phone Debbie or Carlie on 4322 3022 for details.
