Welcome to the Youth Mentoring Network website.   (Formally The Youth Mentoring Trust)

Our charitable trust was established to promote effective youth mentoring opportunities for young New Zealanders and to provide professional development initiatives for individuals and organisations working in youth mentoring.

The particular focus of this website is to showcase what is happening in NZ, so that you can locate useful local information with ease, then follow this up with personal contact. "Countless deeds are done in the name of mentoring" (Pawson 2004). "The key virtue is described as kindness rather than saintliness" (Freedman 1993). Our aim is to join with you in serving this vital community cause.

We invite you to download a valuable resource, for anyone working in the area of mentoring young people in New Zealand.
