Youth Mentoring Network

The Youth Mentoring Network aims to work with interested youth mentoring organisations and practitioners to foster the growth and development of high quality mentoring programs for young people in Australia by providing a national base of collaboration, support, guidance and expertise.

The Network is an initiative of the National Youth Mentoring Partnership which consists of four not-for profit organisations (The Smith Family, Dusseldorp Skills Forum, Big Brothers Big Sisters Australia and Job Futures) and the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

Its website has some great toolkits on setting up, managing and evaluating mentor groups and programs. Visit:

HYMC partners with the Network to organise an annual mentoring forum in the Hunter each year.
