Tools for Better Mentoring
This component supports mentoring for young Victorians through the development of resources, guidelines and good practice tools available for use by all organisations involved in mentoring activities.
The MCBI is delivered through three key components:
1. Building Mentoring
2. Tools for Better Mentoring
3. Community Capacity Building
A Guide to Effective Practice for Mentoring Young People
In consultation with stakeholders, the Office for Youth has produced A Guide to Effective Practice for Mentoring Young People (2006). This publication is aimed at community organisations establishing, running, or wishing to improve the effectiveness of their mentoring programs. It is a practical resource that details what practitioners and research tell us about the effective features of mentoring programs for young people including good practice principles, program management and checklists and resources.

A Guide to Supporting Effective Programs for Mentoring Young People
A Guide to Supporting Effective Programs for Mentoring Young People (2007) has been produced as a practical resource for those involved in funding and supporting mentoring programs for young people.
This Guide is a companion document to A Guide to Effective Mentoring for Young People (2006) which was produced to assist mentoring practitioners to develop and implement mentoring programs based on good practice. The Guide also covers some common knowledge and practical guidance on the development of quality mentoring programs but has a particular focus on program development and management undertaken by funding bodies and other organisations supporting formal mentoring programs.
