MASP’s 2025 Youth Mentoring Program cohort has concluded their trek of the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory.
The group, consisting of 14 mentees from Mildura and Swan Hill as well as their community mentors and MASP staff, returned to North West Victoria on Thursday following the six-day hike.
“The trek was a fitting end to the months of training the group did together,” MASP Youth Mentoring Coordinator Mark Jamieson said.
Since its inception the program has positively impacted the loves of more than 250 participants, helping them successfully connect or re-connect themselves with family, education, and the community.
MASP CEO Charmaine Calis said the program continued to be a successful avenue for MASP to make a difference in the Mallee.
“For almost 20 years now the MASP Youth Mentoring Program has been a large part of the organisation’s effort to make a positive impact on the lives of young people in our communities,” she said.
“I look forward to this continuing well into the future.”
