Mentoring Providers
Raise Up NZ
The Raise Up Mentoring Programme supports vulnerable young people in increasing their engagement in school, work readiness, and community connection. The Programme consists of weekly in-person mentoring and quarterly workshops with other young people in the programme. This gives the mentee the benefits of one-on-one mentoring with an experienced and trusted mentor, as well as the social growth from taking part in group activities. Mentoring occurs in private spaces at school, Y facilities or community spaces in the mentee's area.

Overview
With the support and funding of the Ministry of Youth Development, Raise Up has combined our experience of working with young people, schools, specialist support services and our central philosophy of 'by youth, for youth' to create a strength-based mentoring programme available for young people. Mentees will be supported in developing and using their strengths to plan their future, setting and achieving their goals.
