Mission Statement
AIME is a dynamic educational program that is proven to support Indigenous students through high school and into university, employment or further education at the same rate as all Australian students. AIME gives Indigenous students the skills, opportunities, belief and confidence to grow and succeed. We believe that Indigenous = success.
About This Cause
AIME started in 2005 with 25 Indigenous high school students (mentees) and 25 volunteer university students (mentors). In 2014, AIME is connecting approximately 3,500 mentees with 1,250 mentors across 29 locations and in partnership with 16 Australian universities in all mainland states and the ACT. By 2018, AIME will annually engage 10,000 Indigenous high school students across Australia and support their transition to university, employment or further education at the same rate as every Australian child. This will build the Indigenous talent pipeline for employers to lead Australia into the future. AIME provides a dynamic educational Program that gives Indigenous high school students the skills, opportunities, belief and confidence to finish school at the same rate as their peers. AIME has proven to dramatically improve the chances of Indigenous kids finishing school. AIME also connects students with post Year 12 opportunities, including further education and employment. We believe that Indigenous = success and expect all kids in our Program to succeed. Across the country, AIME delivers a range of different programs. The Core Program targets local Indigenous high school students who attend schools that are able to visit an AIME partner university campus on a weekly basis. The Outreach Program extends the AIME experience to Indigenous high school students from further afield through a more intensive full day format. AIME's goals for all Indigenous students involved in the Program are to: Increase Year 10 progression rates Increase Year 12 progression rates Increase university admission rates AIME strengthens links between universities and local high schools. AIME supports teachers to become more optimistic about tertiary education being a real option for their Indigenous students. Through a strong relationship with AIME, parents' belief in their child's chances of pursuing a university education is increased.
