Bill Winters and John Decker spoke to the club on the L2P Learner Driver Program
The L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program was an initiative of the Rotary Club of Sunbury in 2007 with a pilot program. Supported by Government in 2008.
The program provides an opportunity for young people, who face significant barriers, to obtain their drivers licence with the support of a mentor. Program helps a young person to develop their confidence and skills, and assist them in reaching the required 120 hours of supervised on-road experience. With a drivers licence, a young person will have a better chance to access education, training and job opportunities.
Program is community driven with support from agencies such as Berry Street.
John Decker has been a mentor for 8 years, finding it a worthy cause, giving opportunity to young people.
