Frequently Asked Questions

What is Indigenous youth mentoring, and why is it important?

Indigenous youth mentoring is a process where young people are guided and supported by culturally knowledgeable mentors. These mentors provide positive role models while sharing Aboriginal traditions, values and community knowledge.

Mentoring is important because it helps young people facing challenges to develop resilience, confidence and identity. It also reconnects them with culture, which can be a powerful foundation for wellbeing. Research shows that culturally relevant mentoring improves educational outcomes, reduces disengagement and builds stronger community ties.
How does Indigenous mentoring support cultural identity in young people?

Mentoring programs give youth the opportunity to explore who they are through culture and community. Elders and mentors share traditions, language and stories that help young people connect with their heritage. This connection builds a sense of belonging, which is essential for self-esteem and resilience.

Activities like dance, storytelling, artefact learning and bushwalks allow participants to experience culture firsthand. For Aboriginal youth, this reinforces pride and identity. For non-Indigenous youth, it promotes understanding, respect and appreciation.
What can schools or organisations expect from an Indigenous mentoring program?

Schools and organisations can expect a respectful, structured and engaging experience that is tailored to their needs. Programs may include mentoring sessions, workshops, performances or cultural education that aligns with curriculum or organisational goals.

Participants will learn through practical, hands-on activities such as storytelling, dance and cultural site visits. Mentors bring lived experience, cultural authority, and authenticity, ensuring every session is meaningful and accurate. These programs not only educate but also foster reconciliation, cultural awareness and stronger community connections.
