What is BRIC?
|
Building Relationships and Initiating Change (BRIC) is a new group mentoring program funded by the Victorian Office for Youth for three years (2009-11). It aims to support groups of young people from newly arrived and culturally and linguistically diverse communities seeking to establish their own youth groups and/or youth-led initiatives. It will provide them with mentoring for one year to support their skill and knowledge development to achieve identified goals for their youth group and/or youth-led initiative.

Program Details

The program will be delivered in two stages, with the first (until June 2010), providing support to 4-6 youth groups across the western suburbs of Melbourne (Cities of Maribyrnong, Hobsons Bay, Wyndham and Brimbank). Youth groups will be matched with 1-2 mentors to support their work and be offered CMY ‘Short Burst’ training covering a range of topics including; leadership, team building, project building, fundraising and media.

How to get involved
|
The BRIC Program is currently recruiting mentors! Volunteer BRIC Mentors will meet approximately once a fortnight for 2 hours with the youth group with which they are matched. Through the development of supportive relationships, mentors will share their skills, knowledge and experiences with young people to further develop the capacity of their youth-groups and/or youth-led initiatives.
