BECOME a MENTOR with a LOCAL YOUNG PERSON from ROSEBUD SECONDARY COLLEGE
The BEAM Mentoring Program (Belonging, Engagement and Meaning) is a major project for Rotary Rosebud-Rye - an investment over the 2023/2024 year of $79,000 and continuing into the 2024/2025 year.
The program develops trusting, supportive relationships between carefully selected and trained community volunteers with at-risk junior secondary students. The volunteers have a 1:1 hour-long session every week, with volunteers passing on life skills, building self-esteem and personal development.
What would you need to do? Activities can involve just talking, playing cards, cooking, physical activities, art, music - or whatever the mentee student chooses .... as well as regular group sessions that focus on issues pertinent to the students involved.
And the impact?
- Student independence to turn up to the weekly mentor sessions
- Excellent attendance at session
- Positive student engagement and classroom teachers have noticed positive engagement transferring to class in many instances
- And the mentors expressed a sense of purpose and appreciate being involved
