Becoming a Mentor

Anyone can apply to be a mentor. Mentors are people who have had life experience and enjoy giving their time and energy to young people.

M1 mentors are asked to:


  • commit to a young person for a school year
  • spend at least two hours per week during school terms with their mentee
  • acquire a Government approved 'Working with Children Suitability Card'
  • attend a free 20 hour mentor training course offered by the Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE.

To become a mentor, contact M1 and ask for an application pack or download the Mentor Application Form below. Applicants will be interviewed by a M1 team member, offering a chance to meet and talk more about what is involved with mentoring.
