We work with the schools and students who most need support.   We connect volunteers who want to make a difference.

·         We aim to equip young people with the skills they need to succeed.   ·         We are a non-digital friendly organisation – we can post or call you.   The EdConnect Australia story began more than 25 years ago with four volunteers in one Perth school. Now we are a national organisation with around 1,500 volunteers in 250 schools.

About this Opportunity Make a real difference to young lives! Students love having a mentor. You can help them stay on track with their learning with one hour of your time. It’s a chance to build positive relationships and see how you can impact a student’s confidence and self-esteem. What You’ll Be Doing:

• Spend time with a student during school hours in a supportive environment.
• Help a student by learning about each other and sharing your life experience.
• Offer guidance, encouragement, and a positive outlook to help a student reach their potential.

Why This Matters:

• Make a Difference: When students feel supported, they are more likely to engage in their learning and feel positive about their education.
• Support your local school: join their efforts to ensure that no child falls behind in school.

The best bit? When students greet you with big smiles! They love being matched with a mentor.
