October update - Regional workshops on the new Youth Mentoring Guide

We have now run 4 workshops on the new Guide to Youth Mentoring, in Kaitaia, Hastings, Rotorua and New Plymouth. 134 people from 68 organisations have attended.

The feedback has been great. People appreciate that we are bringing the workshops to the regions, They are finding the content excellent and relevant to their work and are welcoming the opportunity to network with others in their community. Here are a couple of comments:

• Being able to reflect on what I need to do to ensure I am being the very best mentor I can be for students and whanua.
• The materials are excellent and they will help me refine our systems and processes, particularly our programme evaluation.
• We have already used the new Guide when applying for funding which we were successful in securing.
• Ideas shared by people of different backgrounds was invaluable.

It's not too late to register for the Christchurch workshop next week (19 October) and don't miss out on Dunedin (9 November) as tickets are going fast and numbers are restricted to 50 for this workshop.

We are just finalising the venue for Wellington (16 November) and will open registrations shortly.
