project planning mentoring evaluation advocacy communicationLet us help you with your workload! We are looking to do a project which will benefit young people. If you are a Community agency and/or an NGO who advocate for young people with social issues, such as homelessness, youth disengagement from community/education, alcohol and other drugs, unemployment, domestic violence, indigenous issues and LGBTQI, we are able to work with you to provide a platform and voice through the many projects we are able to create.
The aim of the projects for our Youth Work students, is to provide mentorship and/or guidance for young people to take action on issues about which they are passionate about. Our students will require contact with a group of at least 2 young people as part of the project. We are based in Melbourne, Australia and can work with you online, both synchronously and asynchronously. Your youth people aged 10 to 25 years old, can be located anywhere in the globe.
Learners
Possible outcomes include:
- Create a poster raising awareness of an issue
- Host an online event such as a trivia night or a focus group
- Developing resources to support / cater for the needs of young people.
- We also can cater workshops to meet the needs of young people
- Communications and relationship improvement with youth clientele
- Strategies for improved engagement and uptake by your client group
- Create an evaluation report at the end of the project
- Designing a music program for young people
- Accessing online resources
- Setting up collaborative spaces such as social media or virtual conferencing
- Group facilitation and moderation online
Any resources created as an outcome of working with the students will be made available.
