Become a School Volunteer Mentor:
Make a difference in a child’s life…The School Volunteer Program invites caring members of the community to become mentors of school students who, for various reasons, would benefit from the positive one-on-one interaction with an interested adult.
Mentors meet individually with a student during school time for one hour per week on an ongoing basis, with the aim of developing a relationship of trust and respect. Mentors provide guidance and assist with basic academic, social and life skills.
No specific qualifications are required, other than life experience, patience and empathy, although a sense of humour is also very helpful. The School Volunteer Program provides initial training and ongoing support.
For further information, please phone The School Volunteer Program on 9444 8646 or go to www.svp.org.au.
