Online mentoring for young people

Beacon Foundation
Logo for Beacon Foundation

Help young people successfully navigate life after school.

Before you get to the rewarding part of mentoring young people for their future, there are just a few administrative steps. As a MyRoad volunteer mentor, you must be over 18 years old and reside in Australia. You'll need to be currently or very recently in employment and willing to obtain a Working with Children Check in the state or territory in which you live, as well as undergo 2 hours of online training.

You'll need a computer with webcam and microphone (full tech support and training will be provided). You'll also need to be really good with computers and have excellent verbal communication skills.

You'll be talking to young people in small groups of 3 to 5, usually in a school setting, around structured modules to do with work-readiness (ie getting them ready for the world of work by sharing your experiences). Topics include: workplace relationships, resilience and teamwork.

You'll also share with students a series of module support videos showcasing different jobs and careers.

You can be based anywhere in Australia and may be mentoring students on the other side of the country. All mentoring is done online via videoconference from your desk or home office. Male and female mentors welcome from all occupations including trades. You'll also get the chance to meet and network with other mentors online.

You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
