New Local Support Network - Mentors ACT 

 

On the 26th of October as part of Youth Mentoring Week 2011, the AYMN was able to participate in the launch of Mentors ACT. Mentors ACT is designed to provide local support to mentoring practitioners in the ACT and surrounding areas as well as be a central point for potential mentors to find out about mentoring opportunities in the region. 

The ACT now joins VIC, NSW and SA who each offer state based and/or regional support services and networks.

state follow this link.
