M AA Special EventsWhy we operate

Tom’s Story

Tom was in year 10 He was always in trouble at school and at home

and had decided leave both He was really interested in cars Tom was provided with a mentor, through LLEN,

from a local auto repair shop They discussed Tom’s interests and worked to

build his skills to gain work Tom to apply for some work experience at the

auto repairers They offered him an apprenticeship if he

continued at school to complete year 10 He got his apprenticeship, and is doing really well

M AA Special EventsWho we assist

Are at risk of disengagement from education, training and employment.

Have already disengaged from these opportunities.

“Before being with my mentor, I didn’t know what questions to ask about jobs I wanted. Now when I see a good job, I ring up

and get the information I need. My mentor gave me the skills to do this”

M AA Special EventsOur YMAP Program

Youth Mentoring Assistance Program (YMAP) specialises in facilitating partnerships that will improve outcomes for 15–19 year olds in our region

Why is this important?

Youth unemployment can be as high as 57% in our region (ABS)

Our schools report some of the highest levels of disadvantage in Victoria (SFO)

Large numbers of our youth qualify for Youth Allowance (Centrelink)

M AA Special EventsWhat makes us different

We invest in the individual: We see improvements to achievement, life skills, personal development and social skills as essential means to an end

We focus on long term sustainable change: that targets increased participation in education, training and employment

Retention Strategy is crucial: YMAP is a retention strategy to provide youth with these skills

Context is key: All of our work is designed to meet the needs of young people and the community in which they live – including local industry

M AA Special EventsOur Activity

YMAP has serviced 173 young people across the region in 2007, all of whom were deemed to be ‘at risk’.

We have a total of 120 volunteer mentors involved: In 2007 we recruited and trained 57 new mentors; Of the 57 volunteers 22 were males and 35 were females; The student/mentor ratios were 1.56 young people per mentor.

Overall attendance at mentoring sessions in 2007 was 79.3% when the overall school attendance rate by the same 173 students was just 69.4%

“This Program is one of the best programs that this school has ever taken on – it works, it helps our kids enormously, it keeps them

connected and increases their confidence to deal with life’s adversities. Every school should have mentoring. It’s FABULOUS!”
