Mentoring, Tutoring and More
We believe positive role models can create a lasting and vital impact in the lives of Young Carers.
Mentors and tutors provide Young Carers with someone to spend time with, provide valuable guidance, and increase social connection. Our volunteers can offer help with schoolwork, provide mentorship and give Young Carers a break from their caring roles.

The Young Carer Job Readiness Project
The Young Carer Job Readiness Project (YCJRP) is a comprehensive support offering that aims to ensure young people with caring roles have the same access to employment opportunities as their non-caring peers.
Young Carers will access vocational skill development and training opportunities, alongside workplace mentoring, internships and work experience. It’s an opportunity to develop new skills, walk away with reference letters, make new, like minded friends, and be recognised and celebrated through a points-based rewards system!

To our amazing community,
In the past few years, we`ve seen demand for our programs and services outstrip our resources to deliver – mainly as a result of COVID-19 impacts, rolling natural disasters, and immense cost of living pressures.
Our goal is that no Young Carer ever has to sit on a wait list, but currently that`s not our reality.
That`s why we`ve been working hard on a pretty special campaign that we can`t wait to share with you soon.
Throughout the campaign, you’ll hear the stories of four incredible Young Carers. You`ll learn how you can support young people just like them right around Australia.
For now, we’re inviting you to join us for the launch event of this new campaign called `I Care. Do You?` 💛
Hear from our CEO, Board chairperson, and Young Carers. Watch the exclusive premiere of some of our campaign videos. Learn how you can help in a multitude of ways.
So, save the date! 🗓 Thursday 30 March from 8.30am-9.30am AEDT at CreativeCubes South Melbourne, or via livestream.
A HUGE shout out to our friends at @creativecubesco for their incredible support of this event.
RSVP by emailing emma@littledreamers.org.au or sending us a DM.
Anyone and everyone is welcome.
