Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Bruce Rock and from home
Wheatbelt & Beyond Youth Mentoring is a Not-for-Profit organisation supporting secondary students at district high schools (DHS) through one-on-one online, continuous mentoring with an adult from outside their local community. Secondary students at DHSs contend with unique challenges with geographic and social isolation, education inequity and fewer support mechanisms than their city counterparts.
As part of the program students have workbooks they complete with school support.
The intern will update, change and add to the workbooks and create interesting activities that mentors and mentees could work on, activities between school cohorts and Student Leadership activities and ideas. This role requires creativity, thinking outside the box and fun, simple activities.
To support regional, rural and remote students to build mental health and wellbeing, confidence, aspiration and belief in a bright future, contributing to more equitable education outcomes, as students make the challenging transition from adolescence to adulthood whilst facing the disadvantage of geographic and social isolation.
