Vicki Condon AM - from HR Management to Founder & CEO of Raise Foundation

<p>What a delightful and inspiring guest I have for you today - and an Order of Australia to boot! Vicki Condon worked in human resources management, a job she loved, then&nbsp;took&nbsp;time out to have her three beautiful children. She retrained and began teaching at TAFE Outreach but she had a dream to start a NFP charity to help mentor young people... I will let Vicki tell the rest of her fantastic story. Needless to say and to quote Jack Nicholson&nbsp;from&nbsp;'As Good As It Gets' (and swap gender) after our chat Vicki made me want to be a better woman - it is life changing what her and the team do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Twelve&nbsp;years on Raise Foundation has provided mentors for over&nbsp;6,300&nbsp;young people and&nbsp;trained&nbsp;more than&nbsp;4,800&nbsp;volunteers with mentoring skills to take through life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Feel good, give back and find purpose.&nbsp;Youth mentoring is a rewarding experience that makes a real difference in the life of a young person.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Raise has in-school mentoring programs around Australia.&nbsp;Sign up to become a mentor today at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.raise.org.au/mentor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.raise.org.au/mentor</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If this is something you think&nbsp;you'd like to get involved&nbsp;be quick! Applications close&nbsp;late Feb for VIC &amp; SA and late March for NSW &amp; QLD.&nbsp;</p> <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
