Volunteer Mentor - Sunbury

Tyler is 15 year old boy with a great sense of adventure and love of the outdoors. He has Autism and ADHD and enjoys keeping busy and being active.  Tyler lives with his mother and 2 younger sisters.  His family have very few supports in their own network and his mum feels Tyler would greatly benefit from having a positive male role model in his life to hang out with, learn from and get out into the community with on a regular basis.

If you are someone who is keen to make a difference in someone’s life and would enjoy taking on a mentoring role with Tyler, we would love to hear from you!
