| Summary |
As a 19-year-old university student, Jack Manning Bancroft realised that education was the key to leading the most disadvantaged kids in Australia -- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander high school kids -- out of inequality. He founded AIME, The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience, with 25 Indigenous kids in Redfern. Twelve years on, more than 10,000 high school kids and 5,000 university students have been through the AIME program. In 'Mentoring: the key to a fairer world', Jack and his collaborators -- colleagues, mentors, former mentees, and supporters -- reflect on the impact AIME has had in Australia, on their lives, the lives of the kids who completed the program and on the opportunities that lie ahead. This collection of essays shows us that it's possible to overcome the impossible, to tear down injustice, to change the world -- all through one simple idea. |
