Mentoring
We encompass six principles in our Youth Development Strategy.
Miya uses a strengths-based approach for youth development. Our mentors build supportive and positive relationships with youth to create Individualised Action Plans in order to achieve their goals.
We recognise the paramount importance of acknowledging and incorporating cultural identity and values when working with youth and their family.
Through the development and implementation of an Individualised Action Plan, our mentors endeavour to support and motivate youth to improve their overall wellbeing and engagement with their learning environment.
How does the service work?
Our Mentoring Service has four key elements:
The matching of a screened and trained mentor with the child
Establishment of a mutually trusting and respectful relationship.
Supporting youth to develop and implement their mentoring plan.
Recognition and celebration of the achievements and progression of the young person.
