Mentoring Changes Lives YWCA NSW has over 30 years experience delivering life-changing mentoring programs and has successfully assisted over 4,000 vulnerable young people in NSW by matching them with a special friend and mentor.
The value of mentoring for all people is now well recognised.
Research has found that mentoring brings about profound positive change in the way young people feel about themselves and how they view their world. Children with a mentor as opposed to those without were:
• 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs • 27% less likely to begin using alcohol • 53% less likely to skip school
