About Menslink:

Menslink has been supporting young men in the Canberra region for twenty years through our free counselling, volunteer mentoring and education programs. In that time, we have helped thousands of young guys aged ten to twenty-five get through tough or lonely times with the least amount of pain or harm to themselves and those around them. We do that by helping young men make better choices and engage positively with society, reaching their full potential and becoming the great adult men they want to be. Because we believe everything is possible for them, their families, their mates and our community. 

The core values that guide our work are: 

• Caring – we show compassion, kindness and empathy
• Contribution – we strive to make a real, demonstrable and lasting impact
• Connection – we genuinely connect and collaborate
• Integrity – we do no harm and operate to the highest standards of ethical and professional behaviour
• Innovation – we continually review, improve and adapt our programs and approaches

About the role:

Menslink works to support young men, particularly in the Canberra region, through our interactive workshop programs delivered in schools aimed at improving mental health, building resilience, and providing a safe space for them to talk about issues. 

The goal of these programs is to create a supportive environment where young men feel comfortable discussing mental health and other issues, building their resilience, and learning healthy ways to manage challenges.

• Contribute and co-administer the stakeholder survey and program evaluation process.
• Keep up to date with issues facing young men and youth more generally and contribute to the overall learning of Menslink staff and volunteers more generally.
• Work collaboratively and co-facilitate with Menslink staff, stakeholders and independently as required.
