Christian Mentor program for 11/12 students to mentor youth on a holiday program for youth with physical and intellectual disabilities
Synergy youth will be running a holiday program for youth with intellectual disabilities in the October School Holidays. If any young Christian leaders may like the opportunity to mentor youth on the holiday program, they are welcome to attend an introduction workshop in July led by a Disability Advocate and Educator.
We also have Abby Reese who was the pastoral care coordinator and executive teacher from Black Mountain Specialist School who will run a program that will cover infomation needed to mentor the youth. There will also be Christian training looking at the biblical perspective of disabilities and inclusion, this will be led by CBM Luke 14, presented by Dr Louise Gosbell
