Our vision is that young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds are connected, empowered and influential Australians.

This includes the matching of mentors and mentees, providing ongoing support and supervision, reviewing support plans and monitoring day to day program-based activities. Additionally, the role will be responsible for cultivating connections with community groups to coordinate activities that link young people to culturally appropriate supports, while also fostering stakeholder relationships for further opportunities for both young people and mentors.
