Students

Hear what some of our students have to say

Young people volunteer to participate following an Information Session to meet mentors and explain the program goals.

Students are usually 14-16 years and in Years 9 and 10.

They must have parent/carer approval to participate.

There are usually more students than mentors that want to participate.

Final selection takes into account student interest and mentors’ experiences.
