Regional workshops on the new Guide to Youth Mentoring - Update

We had a wonderful group of people come together for our latest workshop in Hamilton last week. They represened a wide cross-section of youth focused organisations in the region including schools, social services agencies, Not-for-profit organisations and the local Council. 

The feedback from these workshops is overwhelmingly positive, with participants telling us that the opportunity to network and establish connections with others in the community, and at the same time gain a better understanding of what is involved in youth mentoring is just awesome.

We have a further 6 workshops scheduled this year. Thank you to the continued funding from The Tindall Foundation for making these really accessible for people.  Check out the schedule below and be sure to keep an eye on our website or 'like' our facebook page to keep up to date.
