About the Program:
The Young Mentors program supports older Australians to improve their digital skills by bringing them together with young people in a mentoring capacity, to share digital skills and knowledge.
Not only does it facilitate essential digital learning for older Australians and build their confidence in using technology, but it also gives young people the opportunity to develop valuable teaching, communication and leadership skills.
The program involves a community organisation or group partnering with a school to coordinate one-hour sessions that are delivered weekly over six weeks. Young Mentors has been developed by eSafety as part of the Be Connected initiative.
