Marram Nganyin Aboriginal Youth Mentoring Program provides funding to deliver strengths-based and community-led mentoring initiatives for young people.
Marram Nganyin translates to ‘we are strong’ in the Woiwurrung language of the Wurundjeri People. The program supports Aboriginal young people to be healthy, confident in their identity and culture, and achieve their goals through education, training and employment.
Aboriginal organisations have the flexibility to design and deliver mentoring programs that best meet the needs of Aboriginal young people in their communities.
