GROUP MENTORING
Our Group Mentoring program is a fun and engaging collection of workshops designed for Young Carers. Facilitated by Little Dreamers staff, Young Carers will connect with one another to explore topics like health and wellbeing, personal development, planning and organisation and connection and community.
Who and where?
The program is run specifically for Young Carers aged 12-16. This program is available to Young Carers across Australia except in QLD and certain regions in NSW (where we offer IPPS and other programs via the Carer Gateway).
In person delivery is available in the suburb of Glen Eira.
Online delivery is also available via Zoom. A resource pack will be sent via mail with all the worksheets needed to complete the program.
ONLINE TUTORING
Online Tutoring provides Young Carers with extra support in their education, keeping them engaged in schoolwork and studies with regular one-on-one sessions. The program sees Young Carers matched with one of our amazing Little Dreamers volunteers based on subject needs and time availability.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Online Tutoring is currently only available for Victorian students from primary school to year 12 (aged 5-18). Via Zoom, tutors will help guide students through their homework and school related tasks to provide a helping hand with their education. The program gives Young Carers the opportunity to get to know their tutor, create a positive relationship and gain a passionate role model.
HOUR OF POWER
Running weekly online via Zoom, Hour of Power is all about having a laugh, playing games and meeting other Young Carers. Young Carers will get to test their general knowledge and engage in activities ranging from charades, trivia, word games, ‘Guess the Song’ and more.
