1. The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience
There’s a revolution on campus. It comes dressed in black hoodies, with a mission to smash inequalities in Indigenous education. It’s called AIME – the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience.
AIME partners university students one-on-one with Indigenous high school students from the local area in a mentoring relationship. Put simply, AIME brings Indigenous high school students into contact with university students in a way that gives them the chance to get through school.
AIME is at your campus in 2010. AIME started in 2005 out of the University of Sydney with 25 Uni students putting their hands up to mentor 25 Indigenous students in Redfern. They put their hands up to leave a legacy.
Now in 2010 AIME will be working with close to 1000 Indigenous students across the East Coast of Australia. It’s an enormous vote of confidence from the public that we’re able to start working with Australia. You can be part of this.
We ask you to give up one hour a week (outside uni commitments) over 17 weeks on a Friday. That’s 17 hours, which could change an Aboriginal kid’s life.
AIME will drive an education revolution across Australia for Indigenous students. We cannot do it without the belief and commitment from you.
