Project 2.3 - Support system for new Conferences
Current status (February 2026): Completed, with State and Territory membership teams
The Project Team has prepared documentation to support a national mentoring program and includes:
- a description of a Mentor;
- the qualities of a successful Mentor;
- the qualities of a successful Mentee;
- what expectations a Mentee should have of their Mentor;
- the difference between a coach and a mentor; and
- establishing a Mentor / Mentee process.
To develop these materials, the role of Bailly with Youth in the Society has been an excellent reference point.
Did you know? The term 'mentor' originates in ancient Greece, with Homer's classic poem, 'The Odyssey', in which Odysseus appoints a guardian called Mentor to look after his son in his absence, as a teacher, guide and friend.
