Program collaborators Panyappi Indigenous Youth Mentoring Program Evaluation As the young people who Panyappi target are often in more complex circumstances than young people in mainstream mentoring programs, an extensive network of connections are required. The key collaborations in the development and delivery of the Panyappi program are shown in Figure 4 and may be: ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω ω sources of referral to Panyappi, services with whom Panyappi mentors need to network or to whom they may need to refer due the needs of individual young people, services with whom Panyappi develops cooperative programs, and services with whom Panyappi networks to stay abreast of relevant local and sector issues that impact on their program, mentors and or young people. Young people involved with Panyappi The initial intention was for Panyappi to focus on young Aboriginal people who frequent the inner city area although they may come from various parts of the metropolitan area, often the west, south and north. Although this focus has been maintained, Panyappi has also worked with young people who frequent other urban areas. This has been necessary as “the place” to hang out shifts over time and can quickly move back and forth. Young people who typically come into the inner city may temporarily go out to Salisbury, the Parks or other locations. The young people involved with Panyappi are usually 10-17 years old and are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system or incarceration. They usually have the following characteristics: In the 10-15 age group A history of offending or risk factors associated with offending Low socio-economic background Poor school attendance and often complete disengagement from schooling Poor educational achievement, low numeracy and literacy skills, and/or learning difficulties Behavioural difficulties and problems with violence A history of drug, alcohol and substance misuse Experiences of physical, sexual and emotional abuse Unstable living arrangements - 16 -
