Onboarding as a Peer Mentor is self paced process and utilises an online platform called Volaby.
To make the process as efficient as possible, we suggest organising the required checks & clearances first.
The required clearances are FREE for Volunteers. There are no out of pocket expenses to become a Volunteer Mentor.
If you need to apply for a National Police Clearance or a Working With Children Check, please follow the instructions below.
Applying for a National Police Clearance
We have selected online training tools and resources to equip you with the knowledge to ensure everyone is kept safe and are ready to help people with disabilities fully participate in society.
Additionally we host a monthly Mentor Meet Up via Mighty Networks for an informal Question & Answer session.
Once you have completed the process on Volaby, you are ready to go! You’ll be invited to set up a Profile on Mentorloop the platform where we facilitate the 1:1 peer mentoring activities. This process takes less than 5 minutes.
Your role is incredibly important and we want to make sure its a mutually valuable experience for both mentees and mentors, therefore we utilise a number of tools to track our impact, including data from Volaby, Mentorloop and engagement surveys.
Happy Mentoring!!
Last Thursday 4 April 2024, we celebrated the launch of our new Peer Mentoring program – a program all about connecting people with disability with those with lived experience, to increase their social connections and community relationships.
We had such a fun night with plenty of games, food, drinks, and most importantly, we had the opportunity to connect and form strong bonds with those in our community 🤗
A massive thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our launch, as well as Hard Days Night ADL for the awesome venue, Peter from 7 Fold Media for capturing the night, and to our fabulous organisers and Board that made this night happen.
It means the world to us and we’re so excited for what’s to come!
Highlights from the night include;
