Maple Youth Services

Introduction to Mentoring

Maple Youth Services supports children and young people by providing a positive role model - a mentor - in their life for a variety of important occasions. Mentoring Plans are created through a key consultation process with each person, where key mentoring goals and skill development targets are planned out and then delivered by trained Maple Youth Services Youth Workers.


Our operations in regards to Mentoring is built on the understanding that everyone is unique and that what they require, is very different from person to person. Our broad breadth of Youth Workers are highly trained to adapt and support individuals from all walks of life with varying interests and goals. We take into consideration individual needs and characteristics to ensure a successful Mentor/Mentee Match – whether it be cultural, language, educational, interest or age as examples.

What is Mentoring?


Maple Youth Services mentoring is the provision of our appropriately trained and qualified Youth Workers to provide guidance and fundamental support to children and young people in need. This service is provided at specific durations that the child or youth requires, as determined by their initial assessment under the relevant support scheme.


Prior to any engagement, a caseworker will identify specific goals and skill development outcomes and will outline the number of sessions, packages and or duration that these services will be required. The programme can include activities both in the home such as supervision of homework as well as out of home such as attending a sporting team training session. It is then Maple’s role to turn these written goals into physically achieved outcomes.
