Volunteer Mentor

At MCR, we know that there is amazing potential and talent in all young people, regardless of their home life and circumstances. But for many, that potential has yet to be discovered. Life experience has knocked the confidence out of some, firmly locking away those seeds of aspiration and hope. It is our aim to uncover, nurture, and develop the skills and capabilities of our most disadvantaged young people. We bridge talent with opportunity through relationship focused mentoring.

We're looking for mentors to #BeTheBridge for the young people of Anderson High School. All that's required is one hour per week and a desire to help a young person. Building a positive relationship is based on non-judgemental listening and encouragement. It's about turning up consistently, for no other reason than you care.

When one person mentors, two lives are changed. Our mentors help realise the full potential of their young person and empower them with the confidence and belief to make it happen. Mentoring is creating a wave of positive change, impacting our schools, community and country.


Experience required

The only thing a mentor is required to have is to care and be committed to a young person for one hour per week, for at least a year, ideally two.
