ABOUT US

The Salvation Army is one of Australia’s largest and most-loved charities, helping thousands of Australians every year find hope in the midst of all kinds of personal hardship. The Salvation Army offers the opportunity to use your skills and expertise to make a real difference in the lives of people who need help most.

Frankston North, locally known as ‘The Pines’, has high levels of disadvantage, sitting within Victoria’s highest ranking postcodes on the disadvantage scale (Dropping off the Edge, 2015). Therefore many young people in Frankston North are impacted by poverty, cyclical unemployment, physical and emotional abuse, substance abuse, family violence and chronic neglect. The risks are high that without appropriate support, these vulnerable young people will leave school early, abuse drugs or alcohol and/or enter the juvenile justice system. We know if vulnerable young people engage consistently with a mentor over the long term, they will build resilience and self-worth; increase their capacity to develop other positive relationships; stay at school and contribute to their communities. This leads to long-term community benefits and transformational change like a reduction crime, youth unemployment and disadvantage (Big Brothers/Big Sisters, 2015). In response to this the Pines Salvation Army developed ‘Raven & the Wolf Mentoring.’ A small group mentoring network that aims to support young people to develop skills, gain confidence, have fun, make healthy choices and develop a sense of belonging and purpose.

A core value of the Salvation Army is to support the basic needs of individuals and communities. A Youth Mentor promotes purposeful, voluntary, relationships in which Mentors assist people accessing TSA services to develop a positive sense of self and connections within their community. Mentors engage in regular recreational activities with young people in a small group context to facilitate the development of a positive and constructive relationship. This reduces the isolation many people in our community experience following, rewards and engenders hope for a positive future and active engagement in the community. Safety and well-being of self and others is vital and there is a requirement to identify and report hazards and incidents.
