Imagine youth mentoring
Dream big no matter who you are.
BACKGROUND
Imagine Global recognises the difficulty migrants and refugee youth have in adapting to Australian culture and fully accessing opportunities. They often face unseen mental pressures from bullying, socio-economic barriers and even previous trauma.
​
The Imagine Youth Mentoring program works to facilitate integration of these Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) youth in Australian society and promote their mental resilience. It also prevents misunderstanding of CALD communities and demonstrates how young people can collaborate with their CALD peers.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to support youth in becoming:
​
CONNECTED​
Connected to their mentor - someone who supports them , as well as connected to the society - a world where they can reach their fullest potential. We want to help youth from different backgrounds to integrate into Australian society while celebrating exactly who they are.
​
EMPOWERED
Empowered to pursue dreams, be the boss of their own life, and reach their fullest potential. This can be achieved differently for different people such as practicing communication, improving English or being motivated to study.
​
CONFIDENT
Confident in who they are and proud of the things that make them unique. We want to let them know that others believe in them, but more importantly we want them to learn to believe in themselves.
