Mentoring & Advocacy Regular - less than 6 months Across: Churchill QLD, Coalfalls QLD, Eastern Heights QLD, Ipswich QLD, Leichhardt QLD, Newtown QLD

About this opportunity

Our flagship program 'Onwards & Upwards' is an 8 week or 4 week program that builds self-awareness, self-confidence and self-esteem. We work in schools, YMCA'S and within community organisations and rely on the generosity of mentors to bring our programs to life. We work closely with: • domestic violence victims  • unemployed young people and adults  • disengaged students  • ex-offenders  • emerging students  • emerging leaders  Working in a team with a facilitator and fellow mentors, you will mentor one-on-one with participants and have the chance to directly contribute to our society in a big way, giving participants the tools they need to imagine, plan and achieve a more satisfying, balanced and brighter future. Our mentors need to share our IBFF values of:

  1. Respect
  2. Honesty
  3. Trust
  4. Belonging
  5. Community
  6. Compassion
  7. Acceptance
  8. Love Our volunteers are often telling us that mentoring is one of the most rewarding and life-changing things they’ve ever done. That’s because becoming an Inspiring Brighter Futures mentor is a rewarding experience that allows you to have a positive, practical impact on the future of another person.
