Our Team

“Who is Plan-it Youth?” Alex, student.

The teacher managing Plan-it Youth in each school works closely with the Principal, mentor team and students in that school, supported by a volunteer mentor team leader.
Outlying and ‘new’ schools are also supported by an ‘Outreach volunteer team leader/s’. There is a network of Plan-it Youth teachers from participating schools and a Hunter mentor network.
Mentors and teachers work closely with the Plan-it Youth Hunter Coordinator.
All participants have the opportunity to contribute to policies, raise issues and make suggestions through a regular Plan-it Youth Hunter Forum.
Plan-it Youth Hunter Strategy Group sets and manages regional Plan-it Youth priorities.
The Strategy Group includes representatives from major stakeholders and works closely with participants in the Forum and NSW Department of Education and Training.
The Plan-it Youth Hunter Coordinator is employed by the NSW Department of Education and Training.
Other team members include mentor trainers from TAFE Outreach Hunter Institute, and sponsors and supporters who contribute in-kind and/or financial support.
There is plenty of scope for expansion of Plan-it Youth Hunter. There are 16 schools currently participating and a total of 34 Hunter high schools in Hunter/Central Coast Region of NSW DET .
