YWCA NSW

Would you like to be part of an exciting day with young people helping them to learn about managing their money? In this increasingly complex world it's an important skill for students to have as they move from school to further study or work.

We seek interested volunteers from varied work backgrounds to become Mentors who support students in Hip Pocket workshops. Mentors act as guides for students as they work through various activities in small groups. Mentors are key to the success of this program, as they provide a vital link with the working world.

For further information on the role of Mentor and the workshops please contact us.

We require both male and female volunteers as workshops are offered to boys and girls (separately). If you are looking for an opportunity to contribute to your local community and positively impact others, then contact us.
