In the Loop! | |
For two days in December 2011,
mentoring practitioners from a variety of mentoring programs across Australia gathered to form the Youth mentoring Benchmark task force. The task force's mission was to review and update the National Youth Mentoring Benchmarks which are a set of minimum standards and best practice guidelines for youth mentoring programs across Australia.
Stay tuned for the launch of the new and improved Youth Mentoring Benchmarks in early 2012. |
