The Youth Mentor Training 6 month online certification will give you the tools to nurture, mentor and hold a space for teens and tweens. You will learn how to connect with teens on their level, craft workshops and courses that could change their lives and do it in a way that supports your needs, strengths and lifestyle.
The business of running programs for teens will also be covered, ensuring that you can reach and support as many young people as you want to, in a variety of formats. You will gain the knowledge and tools to work with teens, mentor them and run successful, heart-centred workshops for them based on your strengths and passions.

If you need a more personalised approach to starting your youth mentor business, or growing something already well-established, then my one-on-one business coaching and consulting might be for you. We can use these personalised sessions to get straight into what’s going to be most helpful to support you in moving forward.
I also consult on developing training programs in youth organisations, for example volunteer mentors.
One-on-one business coaching and consulting series usually go for a minimum of three months and start at AUD $2250. A one-off session, with two weeks of support, is $375. Perfect for a particular project or issue you want to tackle!
