L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program

The Melbourne City Mission L2P Program is a community-based program that supports young people who face significant barriers to completing 120 hours of on-road driving experience.

The program is supported by trained volunteer mentors.

How does it work?

The goal is for you to build the confidence and skills to get your P-plates.

You are matched with trained volunteer mentors who support you to gain 120 hours of supervised driving.

The volunteer mentors are given intensive training by VicRoads and undergo mandatory training with Melbourne City Mission to provide a quality program for young people.

Eligible young people are offered a minimum of one hour of supervised driving each week.

The program is funded by TAC and administered through VicRoads.
