A mentor is basically an adult volunteer who wants to work with youth, who will spend time with them about once a week, usually about an hour a week over a period of Five Months, just having conversations, getting to know each other and helping them to make decisions about their futures.
Imagine being a young person at a crossroads, unsure of your next steps. Now, picture having a mentor to guide you through that pivotal time. That's exactly what the Youth Mentoring Program at Keys Job Centre offers. In this episode of TALK with Timmy G, Mike and Kayley from Keys Job Centre share the incredible impact their program is having on local youth.
These mentors aren't just advisors; they're companions who meet with their mentees once a week for five months, providing guidance and support. This one-on-one interaction helps young people make informed decisions about their futures, breaking down cultural barriers and improving mental health along the way. The program has been particularly transformative for indigenous youth, acknowledging the complex histories and present-day challenges they face.
By creating a safe space for these young individuals to open up, the mentors help them access resources they might not have known were available. The results? Positive outcomes in career development, mental health, and overcoming cultural obstacles. If you're curious about how mentorship can change lives or are considering becoming a mentor yourself, this episode is a must-listen.
