We offer autistic-led online group mentoring programs for autistic/neurodivergent young people. Each group includes up to 10 mentees aged between 7 and 22 years, matched with peers of a similar age. In some cases, a special interest group may include a wider age range, with parental discretion. Our program builds confidence and social connection in a safe, positive environment which allows individuals to move at a pace that feels right for them. Each session offers flexibility, so they can engage in a way that meets their needs on the day.
Autistic young people can be unapologetically themselves. They can explore their interests with peers, and build confidence, communication, and social connections along the way whilst benefiting from I CAN Mentors as role models. With over 350 participants each cycle, we are proving our program is effective.
*All I CAN Mentors and staff have completed our child protection training and hold current WORKING WITH CHILD CHECKS OR BLUE CARDS.
