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

BRIC is being delivered in two stages, with the first taking place in the western region of Melbourne (Cities of Maribyrnong, Wyndham, Hobsons Bay and Brimbank).

The second phase of BRIC commenced in November 2010 in the south eastern region (Cities of Dandenong and Casey). Four youth groups involving up to 30 young people are participating. Each group has been matched with 2-3 mentors who will support the group to achieve its youth-led goals and initiatives. Some projects explored by other groups in the past have included organising community entertainment nights, maintaining soccer groups, and starting a band. Some youth groups may not wish to undertake a project, but want to become more established as a group and get together on a regular basis.

Each group will also be offered CMY’s
Short Burst Training, which covers a range of topics including team building, project management, leadership, fundraising and media.
