SEAT = Sit, Eat And Talk

IMG_1342

The 2018 SEAT (Sit, Eat And Talk) mentoring initiative regularly connected 20 Grade 6 students, at Mooroopna Primary School with 14 volunteers during a lunchtime meal. The participants shared stories and completed activities that prompted them to talk about their job and careers. The project was supported by 15 Berry Street School students and nine Lighthouse staff who prepared healthy lunches.

Aims of SEAT

  • To expose young people to positive role models
