The Great Australian Youth Mentoring Census

Every 2 years the AYMN conducts a 'census' style analysis of the Australian youth mentoring sector, in the form of The State of Play of Mentoring Survey. The purpose is to provide a snap shot of how mentoring programs are faring in order to better support and advocate on their behalf. By completing this survey you will be contributing to the design of future resources and initiatives for the youth mentoring sector.

 

As an added incentive, complete the survey in its entirety and submit it by Midnight (AEDST) 4 November 2011 and you will automatically enter into the draw for your chance to win one normal delegate registration to the 2012 Australian Youth Mentoring Conference.
