Shannon joined the Mentor Program which aims to increase student involvement in volunteering and community activities, helps to overcome barriers to taking part in their community, help develop life skills in teamwork, communication, leadership and decision making.
By organising a community event, with a mentor to guide them, students gain an insight into just what it takes to organise, consult, paperwork and funds. It is a very good learning curve.
