Project K Mentoring
The mentor phase of Project K is a key part of a young person’s journey on the programme. As a mentor, you will be paired with a student to support and encourage them in setting and achieving their goals.
Project K mentoring provides a young person with a friendly shoulder to lean on and an objective listener who will help strengthen the positive changes made in the first two stages of the programme. The mentoring relationship complements the student’s existing relationships with parents, caregivers, and teachers.
Project K is designed for Year 10 students and involves three parts: wilderness adventure, community challenge, and an individual mentoring partnership with a trained mentor (this is where you come in!). Find out more here.

Ayla's Project K Story
I will never be anything... I am never going to go anywhere in life... I’m a failure... I’m ugly... No one likes me... I shouldn’t be here... I should just die. All of the thoughts I just shared were ones that I felt frequently up until I was selected for Project K.
