We want every program in Australia to help us celebrate! To help you do so we have developed, together with the Victorian Government and the Victorian Youth Mentoring Alliance, an event support kit to help plan and carry out a celebration. It includes:
- Tips and tactics on how to celebrate
- A checklist so you know how far out to complete different tasks
- A short description of the week suitable for council or school newsletters
- A template media release you can easily tailor with local information
- Key points to help prepare for a media interview
- A set of speaking points for the guest speaker at an event
