Mentor Support Network
Several times each year, Mentor Support Network members are invited to participate in our networking and learning events, where we invite expert speakers to present on a particular subject.
Speakers may be practitioners, researchers or representatives of organisations providing youth support. All have considerable experience and expertise to share with our members.
These events are great learning opportunities, and they provide our members with the opportunity to network and build strong support structures.
Recognising members and supporters
Mentor Support Network likes to recognise its members and supporters, and on occasions holds functions where we can gather and acknowledge the valued input of those who assist MSN.
The functions are informal and held at different times of the year, the latest being in May when members and supporters attended the 2022 Presentation Ceremony. Subscribe to our newsletter to be advised on any future function.
Scholarship presentation
Members, partners and supporters of MSN are invited to attend the annual presentation of educational scholarships which is one of our main functions each year.
Around 350 scholarships totalling more than $650,000 have been presented to students across the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, and Port Stephens regions since Mentor Support Network started operating.
The scholarships are made available thanks to the generous support of our members and partners within the corporate sector.
The scholarship presentation events are held at Newcastle Harness Racing Club each year.
Mentor training
MSN is currently considering how it will present mentor training in 2022/23 and more details will be published when available.
