A true team, a real community

Raise has evolved from a small, family-and-friends oriented start up to a professional large-tier NFP organisation registered on the ACNC with DGR status.

We're an expert and passionate team of 110 employees with 1,837 active volunteer mentors out in school programs this year. Add to that our ambassadors and advisory councils and our dedicated Board - that's a team of 1,977 people strong!

We are a kind and close-knit team who work right across the community to support as many young people as possible through one-to-one mentoring.

Stacey, Graphic Designer and volunteer mentor

"I've been at Raise for two years now and I'm in my first year mentoring. It's really helpful in my role to understand first hand how our programs work. Being able to experience the program we provide is a unique opportunity. It helps me to bring insight to the work I do in promoting Raise.

I feel pretty lucky to do what I love in design as well as the rewarding opportunity of mentoring. As a mum of three, I love that I get to help young people, because I know that the teenage years are difficult for everyone and young people today need all the help they can get."

Dan Davis, our podcasting Program Counsellor

"I have been working with Raise since the beginning of 2021. The Raise Program is a wonderful fit for me as I want to positively impact people through connection, communication and support. This program encourages me to empower youth and mentors on their journey through life."
