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 has high levels of disadvantage, sitting within Victoria’s highest-ranking postcodes on the disadvantage scale (Dropping off the Edge, 2015). Many young people in this area are impacted by poverty, cyclical unemployment, physical and emotional abuse, substance abuse, family violence and chronic neglect. 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 Salvation Army developed a small group youth 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.

The Youth Mentor team 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, reducing isolation and engenders hope for a positive future and active engagement in the community.
