Mentoring Men

"Mentoring Men" is a charity providing free one-on-one mentoring to men in our community who may be in need of a mentor. We have been in existence for just over 2 and a half years and currently have over 1,000 men engaged in the program from all around Australia. Men are matched together by a trained social worker employed by Mentoring Men and this is based on personal interests and geographical area of the men. We seek out and offer free mentor training to all men from all backgrounds. As a guest speaker, I am one of the volunteers and have been involved in 3 mentoring relationships since inception and have seen one man make great improvements to his life. There is tangible evidence that the Mentoring Men program is saving lives. Currently, 7 men a day in Australia make the decision to end their life by suicide. For more information, please visit our website. Any club can reach out to me directly if they are interested in having me speak at one of their meetings.
