Welcome to the JSW Minding The Match Blog

 

This blog supports the department of communities demonstration mentoring project.
Recording, sharing and keeping in touch with everything mentoring.

Minding The Match is a project to support and sustain great relationships between young people and community mentors in regional centres.

JSW is one of 7 community organisations recently awarded Youth Mentoring Project funding by the Department of Communities. We will develop forms, fact sheets and other useful information to help community organisations and agencies make and keep great matches between mentors and young people.

Our Youth Outreach Program (YOP) funded by the Department of Child Protection is the primary inspiration for this project.

For the best part of two decades, YOP has strengthened and supported 13 regional and remote communities and touched the lives of around 1000 young people and their families. YOP has also created a committed core group of highly skilled community based mentors.
