“Mentors Caring for Young People”
SVP Vision Statement
“To assist schools to enhance the well-being of students”

SVP Mission Statement
“Excellence in volunteer mentoring in schools”

The Objectives
To achieve our vision and mission the School Volunteer Program Inc. will:
1. Utilise the abilities of seniors and retired people, as well as other community volunteers, to encourage and guide children and young people who are experiencing difficulties coping at school,
2. Encourage children and young people to achieve their full potential by developing improved life skills, thereby enhancing their quality of life;
3.Promote the value of seniors and retired people in our community and break down the barriers between the generations; and
4. Encourage community involvement in our schools.

How the Program Works
A Volunteer assists a young student on a one-on-one basis and becomes a mentor and a role model to that student.
Mentors come to school during normal school hours, usually once a week, for one hour.

Mentor Skills
Mentors do not require any formal qualifications as this is not a teaching program.
Patience, life skills and empathy towards young people are the most important skills, and of course a sense of humour helps.
