What is RUSH? 

RUSH offers to the community a project that targets youth who are 'at risk' of suicide, homelessness, depression, self harm, addictive issues and early school leavers.   RUSH is a mentoring program that will benefit the whole community.  It is a holistic approach to providing support services to young people who have found life difficult, and their choice factor relatively unsuccessful.  The target group for this project is young people aged 12-16 years who need positive lifestyle modelling and the development of relationships which have normally broken down in their own families.  

How can I help?

1.  Become a Mentor: 

RUSH Mentoring brings the local community together for the cause of local youth.  Community members freely offer their time to support of the local High School.  This support may take various forms, such as help with homework,  going to events, hanging out at the Mentoring Centre, or just being there to talk to.  RUSH mentoring gives the young person someone else to talk to in times of need or when critical choices need to be made in their lives.  While not all youth are comfortable with talking to their parents about issues, the mentor allows them to confide in another       source and ask for advice in a safe environment.

2.  Prayer: 

We have many prayer needs for RUSH and are always looking for dedicated people who will commit to praying every day to ensure the success of this program.  This means praying for mentees, families, mentors, schools, finances and many other things that may arise.  You will be kept updated regularly via email or post.

3.  Finance:

In order for RUSH to be financially viable, we rely on the donations of people and businesses.  All donations over $2 are tax deductible.  Finances contribute toward the employment of a mentor co-ordinator, administration and day to day running costs.
