Standing Tall in Hamilton Inc. (STiH) is a registered Charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We offer school-based mentoring for students in grades 4 to 12 attending our partner schools.
Our Program offers positive guidance, support, routine and encouragement to students to help them develop a healthy connection to school and take advantage of the opportunities that education provides. We work in collaboration with local primary and secondary schools, and we are supported by many local community groups business and philanthropists.
Every dollar counts. You are welcome to select a donation amount, or type your own donation amount. We are grateful for your support.
We invite our community to invest in us as we stand alongside our school partners, volunteer mentors from across our community, and work together to stand by our youth and transform their lives for the better via our award-winning school-based mentoring Program.
Our organisation offers a connection between community-based volunteer mentors and student mentees who are based at our partner schools. The students know they have a reliable and trustworthy adult by their side that offers support and a committed friendship.
By making a contribution, donors are helping to ensure that our award-winning mentoring program will continue to thrive. It means we can continue to:
o Support our current volunteer mentors;
o Engage, screen, train and match new mentors;
o Support the growing number of students being referred to our Program via our school partners;
o Offer a mentor for every student that wants one.
"Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best they can possibly be." - Rita Pierson (Professional Educator since 1972).
