UOW Outreach Mentors

What is the UOW Outreach program?

Our UOW Outreach program is a collaboration between the Department of Education and Communities (DEC NSW), Illawarra & South East Region, Catholic Education Office, and the University of Wollongong (UOW).

The program is offered to select primary and high schools, and individual students, with the aim of raising student awareness of, and aspiration towards, higher education.

Mentors are employed to be the face of this program, providing mentoring, workshop delivery and a range of on-campus and in-school opportunities to various primary and high school student audiences.

My time as an Outreach mentor for UOW has been both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding. It has given me the opportunity to develop my interpersonal skills, feel a richer sense of connection to our community, and allowed me the privilege to instil a confidence in students regarding their personal goals and career aspirations. To be a part of a team that shares the same passion to inspire all students to see their own potential each and every day is something that I will always be proud of. Outreach Mentor
