Volunteer Youth Mentor (Annerley)

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

As a Volunteer Mentor you will be joining a vibrant community that provides a supportive network for young people to feel safe and valued. You will work as part of a close team taking young people out of their home environment once a month to develop skills, socialise, try new experiences and help them develop as a person.

Our Brisbane youth mentor program provides two avenues of support for the young person:

  1. Monthly days out - Volunteers plan and participate in the days, ensuring everyone is given the opportunity to have fun. Each organised day has a theme and is designed to provide life skills, increase self-esteem and resilience, and develop areas such as leadership and communication. Recent outings include a cooking class, hiking and rock climbing.
  2. An annual mentoring camp which takes place over the weekend for two nights and encourages volunteers and young people to step outside their comfort zone. The weekend includes a variety of outdoor activities and mentoring sessions. Outdoor activities challenge participants to work together, whilst mentoring sessions provide guidance and discussion in topics relevant to young people. Volunteers journey with young people throughout camp, supporting every step of the way.

St Vincent de Paul Society Queensland is proactive in supporting child safety. You may also need to give them guidance and some appropriate emotional support should they need it.

There may be opportunities within the organisation to gain accredited qualifications, such as Mental Health First aid, First aid and CPR.

When applying please tell us why you are interested in joining the Vinnies Youth Mentoring program.
