U-Turn Mentor - Moonah

U-Turn is a diversionary motor program working with 15 -20 year olds. We are looking for people who are skilled and interested in working with young ‘at risk’ people.

Many of our clients are quite vulnerable and can be extremely challenging at times. If you are interested in volunteering your time with this group, you will need to be sensitive to the client needs.

Our clients are particularly in need of positive role models. Our clients attend a 10 week course, however we are hoping to set up a mentoring program for our our clients outside of U-Turn hours and once the course has finished to provide ongoing support. Mentors generally catch up with the clients on a weekly or fortnightly basis for an hour or so, to help them with various tasks of their program, and also serve as an external contact to help provide guidance and support. Training and support would also be provided for the mentors.
