About the Program

The Refugee youth Peer Mentoring Program is for young people, designed by young people. It aims to support young people from a refugee background or refugee-like background to achieve their goals. This includes goals towards increased social, economic and civic participation and personal wellbeing.

This program is delivered through one-on-one mentoring, group activities and team approaches, face-to-face as well as online. We also welcome referrals for young people aged between 15-16 who may be considered to be risk of disengaging from education. Mentees will receive ongoing support from their mentor, and from us, and have the opportunity to choose what kind of mentor works for them.
