Working with youth
Resources
The Youth Mentoring Network aims to work with interested youth mentoring organisations and practitioners to foster the growth and development of high quality mentoring programs for young people in Australia by providing a national base of collaboration, support, guidance and expertise.
The Australian National Council on Drugs (ANCD) is conducting research into the issues involved in providing services for young people with drug and alcohol issues.
The ANCD is interested in hearing from people, organisations, agencies and services that work with young people, not just those from the alcohol and other drug sector.
