Young Achievers Program 2023
A Workshop and Mentor Program for Young People in Years 10, 11 and 12.
The Young Achievers Program (YAP) provides support for students who excel in an academic, sporting or artistic field but who may not reach their full potential due to limited adult professional networks. Young people in the program are matched to a mentor who works in their field of interest in order to gain an insight into the field. The mentor will also provide support and friendship to the young person as they navigate the latter years of high school. The young person and mentor are ‘matched’ for a minimum of 12 months within which they will catch up every 2-4 weeks, participating in career based and interest-based activities, which might include visiting the mentor's workplace, attending networking events, attending lectures, talks and seminars.
You can apply for the Young Achievers Program by filling out the form below.
