Youth Mentoring Benchmark Review
| |
On 12th-13th December twenty mentoring professionals from across Australia got together to review and update the National Youth Mentoring Benchmarks.
The mentoring benchmarks are a set of minimum standards and best practice guidelines for mentoring programs. The Australian Youth Mentoring Network, through the sharing of resources, professional development and collegial networking, encourages all mentoring programs to achieve these standards.
Stay tuned for the launch of the new and improved Youth Mentoring Benchmarks in early 2012.
