Youth Mentoring Volunteer - Brisbane

St Vincent De Paul Society Queensland
Logo for St Vincent De Paul Society Queensland

We’re looking for volunteers aged who are caring, compassionate, conscientious, and non-judgmental. We aim to support young people form positive relationships with volunteer leaders and develop friendships with other young people from the local area.

Sense Youth Mentoring is a volunteer-run care and respite program. It involves one weekend activity day per month where young people participate in various activities such as laser tag, bowling, arts and crafts, swimming, virtual reality, sports, and visits to zoos, museums, and aquariums. The program is for young people aged 14-17 years old who may come from various challenging backgrounds and who would not normally have these kinds of opportunities. On Sense, there is a focus as well on the personal development and upskilling of the teenagers, which is facilitated through personal development sessions (on topics such as respectful relationships, job skills, goal setting, mental health, etc.).

As a volunteer leader, the main responsibilities involved in the role include:

  • Attending Sense once a month
  • Participation in the planning and coordination of Sense
  • Participation in the planned activities with the young people
  • Assisting in transporting young people to and from Sense
  • Helping to ensure the young people have a fun, safe day
  • Providing support and guidance to the young people, journeying alongside them as a role model and mentor.
You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
