It\u2019s a sentiment shared by more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteeringaustralia.org\/get-involved\/nvw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six million Australians who volunteer<\/a> in some capacity, including many of our Salesforce employees through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/2019\/05\/abc-of-vto---how-we-re-working-to-make-the-world-a-better-place.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volunteer Time Off program<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each and every day, thousands of Aussie volunteers go out into the world with a goal of helping others, dedicating more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteeringaustralia.org\/get-involved\/nvw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">600 million hours of their time<\/a>. For many, the benefits of volunteering are actually two-fold. Not only are they helping others, but many volunteers actually receive much more than they give. Which is why it\u2019s so important to recognise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volunteeringaustralia.org\/get-involved\/nvw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Volunteer Week<\/a>, Australia\u2019s largest annual celebration of volunteers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Salesforce, volunteering is part of our ethos. We are proud to shout about giving back and one thing we\u2019re very proud of is our commitment to mentoring future generations. It\u2019s something we\u2019ve been focusing on through our recent partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/raise.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raise Foundation<\/a>, an Australian not-for-profit who has mentored over 6,300 young people and trained over 4,800 volunteer mentors. Through Raise, volunteers are matched with high school students, working with them to become more resilient and connected, and giving them hope for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year was my first year being a mentor through the Raise program, and what really struck me was the bravery of these kids. For some, they have come from disadvantaged backgrounds, for others they don\u2019t have a consistent role model in their lives. But no matter their circumstance each one of them has chosen to be part of the program. They have chosen to walk into a room full of adults&nbsp;\u2014 who admittedly are just as nervous as the mentees&nbsp;\u2014 and share their stories and dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dfbe6dd8373&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dfbe6dd8373\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/raise-mentoring-statistic-tile-1.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption> <i>Statistics from <a href=\"https:\/\/raise.org.au\/infographic-because-young-people-need-you-more-than-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raise Foundation<\/a> infographic<\/i>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-benefits-of-mentoring\">The benefits of mentoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what makes a good mentor? Raise Foundation, describes a good mentor as \u201ca positive role model, someone who can uplift their mentee\u2019s strengths and help them outline and achieve any goals they wish to achieve\u201d. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mentoring relationship is built on trust, respect and communication. But it\u2019s more than just advice and knowledge. It\u2019s about getting to really know the other person, guiding them and advising them on their journey. You are there to listen and to provide a safe space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those being mentored, the advice and assistance from a mentor can be profound. It can help increase their confidence, build their resilience and provide hope for the future&nbsp;\u2014 whether that\u2019s professionally, emotionally or mentally. And for the mentors, there\u2019s not only the fulfilment and satisfaction that comes with helping another person, but there is also plenty to learn from the relationship. You never know what skills, attributes or passions your mentee is bringing to the table. To date, I\u2019ve only spent an hour with my mentee but I\u2019ve already learnt so much&nbsp;\u2014 such as how hyper-aware young people are of the world around them and what impact it has on their future \u2014 and that understanding is only going to grow as the relationship develops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s something we\u2019re learning through our partnership with Raise Foundation. Salesforce Sales Executive, Charles Noovao, who was instrumental in bringing the relationship with Raise to Salesforce, says just being involved is the most rewarding experience. \u201cMeeting young people who put everything in perspective,\u201d Charles says. \u201cBeing able to make a direct impact on someone who needs a non-judgemental shoulder to lean on, and someone to talk to, is powerful and humbling at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kylie Jones, ANZ Manager&nbsp;\u2014 Business Development&nbsp;\u2014 Education and Non-Profit at Salesforce.org wholeheartedly agrees with Charles. \u201cKnowing you are empowering them to be themselves, to ask for help and know they are not alone. All you need to do is go in with an open, kind mind and heart and listen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dfbe6dd91b0&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dfbe6dd91b0\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/raise-mentoring-statistic-tile-2.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption><i>Statistics from <a href=\"https:\/\/raise.org.au\/infographic-because-young-people-need-you-more-than-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raise Foundation<\/a> infographic<\/i>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-mentoring\">Types of mentoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main different types of mentoring that you can get involved with&nbsp;\u2014 distance mentoring, group mentoring and one-on-one mentoring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While all types have a place in the community, it\u2019s one-on-one mentoring that can make the most impact on a person\u2019s life. What\u2019s special here is that mentors and mentees are matched and spend quality time together, which is especially important for young people. The mentee is given sole focus and individual support, encouraging a more active relationship. When you decide to become a mentor you are ultimately taking on a valuable commitment and opportunity to provide support and guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce Senior Solution Engineer, Leisa Greasby says she wanted to get involved as soon as she heard about the program. \u201cSeeing the kids&#8217; confidence grow over the program as well as watching them setting goals and feeling comfortable to reach out to others to help them meet these goals [has been the most rewarding thing],\u201d she said. \u201cOur time and commitment means so much more than we realise, often there is not a lot of consistency and support in their lives, and just having someone who cares who is not in their immediate life, can make a big impact.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bianca Ridge, Manager, Business Development at Salesforce, has similar sentiments. \u201cThe most exciting and memorable moments were around seeing my mentee&#8217;s eyes light up when making a connection or new realisation, opening up more and being more confident within himself,\u201d she said. \u201cThe experience itself really solidified for me the importance and power of active listening and being present with someone. That if you are consciously making an effort to do so, it comes across. And, that it does make an impact&nbsp;\u2014 more than you may realise, whether you see it immediately, or down the track.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dfbe6dda1ad&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dfbe6dda1ad\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/raise-mentoring-statistic-tile-3.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption><i>Statistics from <a href=\"https:\/\/raise.org.au\/infographic-because-young-people-need-you-more-than-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raise Foundation<\/a> infographic<\/i>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-involved-with-mentoring\">How to get involved with mentoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to getting involved, many mentors are motivated by an intrinsic need to assist the younger generation to navigate the many obstacles they\u2019re bound to face. According to Raise though, the <a href=\"https:\/\/raise.org.au\/infographic-because-young-people-need-you-more-than-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impact of the mentoring program<\/a> reaches far beyond this. \u201cMentors learn valuable skills that deepen their conversations with their own families, friends and colleagues, as well as experiencing increased confidence and sense of purpose. Mentors also develop an understanding and empathy for youth issues and increase their confidence to mentor the other young people around them. This understanding creates more connected generations and better support for all of our young people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For everyone involved in the Raise Foundation mentoring program, they simply say \u2018do it\u2019. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to be a trained psychologist, or have experience in mentoring,\u201d Charles explained. \u201cAs long as you are open minded and genuinely wanting to help our young disengaged youth, and are willing to listen and learn, you will be a great mentor.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some good advice: consider how you felt as a highschool student. Did you have a neutral, trusted adult who you could go to without feeling judged? Why not be that person for someone else?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>How do you spend your time volunteering?
