IRL Connection for Young Women

Our Time, Our Space is being developed for young women aged 14–18, who may be navigating change, uncertainty, transition or simply wanting a stronger sense of connection and belonging to themselves and their community.

The program will offer opportunities to:

• Build confidence and self-awareness
• Lead and co-create the program
• Explore identity, values and aspirations
• Develop positive relationships and connections
• Learn from shared experiences and different perspectives
• Discover strengths, interests and possibilities
• A space offline and to build critical thinking around online platforms
• Have conversations that matter
• Create a stronger sense of belonging and community

Our Time, Our Space is seeking positive, caring women to mentor young women aged 14–18. Mentors provide encouragement, connection, and a safe space to build confidence, develop life skills, and explore goals for the future. If you are a good listener, reliable and passionate about supporting young women, we would love to hear from you.

Mentors don’t need to have all the answers. What matters is the ability to listen, be present, share appropriately from their own experiences and create a safe, respectful and encouraging connection.

All mentors will participate in an appropriate screening, induction and training process before taking part in the program.

Submit your interest on the Mentor Registration Form.

The program is currently in development, with further details including dates, location and program structure to be confirmed. If you are a young woman interested in participating, or you would like to explore becoming a mentor, we invite you to register your interest by emailing kateminto@nrcg.org.au

Your expression of interest doesn’t commit you to participating – it simply allows us to keep you informed as the program takes shape.
