Project Me - Mentoring and Pathways Support for Teen Girls

The Capital City LLEN is partnering with the Big Sister Experience to bring their popular and successful program, Project Me to secondary schools across the state via an online platform in 2020. Re-focused and designed for this post Covid-19 era in collaboration with the City LLEN, Project Me recognises that young women and girls are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of losing connection and many require mental health strategies to build greater resilience and make informed pathway decisions.

NOTE this program does not focus on any specific industry but creates the skills and confidence to inform decision making for career pathway choices.

Project Me can be offered as part of the school well-being curriculum, for whole classes of girls or individually and aligns with health/well-being/pastoral classes or extra-curricular activity and is integrated with the Victorian Department of Education and Training’s Framework for Improving School Outcomes (FISO) by addressing the internal processes of teens that can lead to an enhancement of their engagement in learning. Project Me is also a perfect tool to support students undertaking remote learning from home.
Project Me includes:
• A 4 week fully automated course consisting of video’s, blogs, tasks and activities – broken up into bite sized chunks you can dip in and out of as you like
• Online access to the wonderful young women from Big Sister for online and telephone mentoring
• Strategies to help teen girls take back control of their feelings and emotions caused by upheaval of their regular routines or other issues
• An environment where girls can learn the importance of self-care, community, mental/physical well-being, and coping strategies to self-regulate during times of uncertainty
• How to make decisions and grow the confidence needed to tackle applying for part time work once restrictions lift and the economy improves and to make more informed decisions on study and vocational pathways through senior secondary school and beyond
• Fun teen girl stuff – beauty or not to beauty, online life, bullying, peer pressure, courageous conversations, friendship, ambition and more.
