Tom was in year 10
He was always in trouble at school and at home
and had decided leave both
He was really interested in cars
Tom was provided with a mentor, through LLEN,
from a local auto repair shop
They discussed Tom’s interests and worked to
build his skills to gain work
Tom to apply for some work experience at the
auto repairers
They offered him an apprenticeship if he
continued at school to complete year 10

Who we assist
AA
Special
Events
M&MV LLEN focuses on young people (15 – 19 y.o.) who:

Are at risk of disengagement from education, training
and employment.

Have already disengaged from these opportunities.
“Before being with my mentor, I didn’t know what questions to ask
about jobs I wanted. Now when I see a good job, I ring up
and get the information I need. My mentor gave
me the skills to do this”

Our YMAP Program
AA
Special
Events
Youth Mentoring Assistance Program (YMAP)
specialises in facilitating partnerships that will improve
outcomes for 15–19 year olds in our region
Why is this important?

Youth unemployment can be as high as 57% in our region (ABS)

Our schools report some of the highest levels of disadvantage in
Victoria (SFO)

Large numbers of our youth qualify for Youth Allowance (Centrelink)
M
What makes us different
AA
Special
Events

We invest in the individual: We see improvements to achievement,
life skills, personal development and social skills as essential means
to an end

We focus on long term sustainable change: that targets increased
participation in education, training and employment

Retention Strategy is crucial: YMAP is a retention strategy to
provide youth with these skills

Context is key: All of our work is designed to meet the needs of
young people and the community in which they live – including local
industry
M
Our Activity
AA
Special
Events

YMAP has serviced 173 young people across the region in 2007, all of
whom were deemed to be ‘at risk’.

We have a total of 120 volunteer mentors involved:
 In 2007 we recruited and trained 57 new mentors;
 Of the 57 volunteers 22 were males and 35 were females;
 The student/mentor ratios were 1.56 young people per mentor.

Overall attendance at mentoring sessions in 2007 was 79.3% when the
overall school attendance rate by the same 173 students was just 69.4%
“This Program is one of the best programs that this school has ever
taken on – it works, it helps our kids enormously, it keeps them
connected and increases their confidence to deal with life’s
adversities. Every school should have mentoring. It’s FABULOUS!”
