            In The Loop 

   
Tincan TelephoneThe AYMN is excited to be working with the WA Department for Communities to create a WA Youth Mentoring Framework. Over the next 2 months our members in WA will be invited to attend a series of consultation forums being held across the state. Keep eye on the newsletter to see when we will be in your area or how else you can be involved.


For our members in other States, in the next few weeks, we will be starting the consultation focus groups for our biennial State of Play of Mentoring Survey. The results of the survey/focus groups are used to inform governments at all levels of what is needed in our sector. If you have a particular question you want answered in the survey, it is not too late to make those suggestions on our Blog. To make your suggestions simply visit the AYMN Community and post your comments to our Blog.
