Vision and Values
Objectives for Plan-it Youth, New South Wales Department of Education and Training include:
- supporting students to plan and manage their personal goals.
- matching the skills and experiences of volunteer mentors with the needs of students.
- establishing and maintaining community partnerships.
- improving the retention of students at school. (This is not a goal for mentors. Mentors aim to give students the freedom to consider options. Many young people are choosing to stay at school.)
Our Vision in the Hunter
To be recognised as a valuable and effective way to nurture the talent of all students who are considering leaving school early and to encourage those students to realise their full potential.
Our Core Values
- Empower students - to recognise their own abilities and have the skills and knowledge to research, evaluate and choose jobs and training for which they have a passion.
- Be inclusive – provide the opportunity to all students considering leaving school early.
- Value volunteers – encourage volunteers to contribute life skills and experiences to all aspects of the program; support mentors and provide ongoing training opportunities.
- Engage and partner to support and integrate community (including government, education and business.)
