About the mentoring
A six-month holistic mentoring approach engages participants aged 11 to 16 in positive activities, cultural connections, educational support, and one-on-one counselling with their whānau and other support networks. The expectation is that the mentoring relationship will last more than 2 years. Mentors meet with the young person weekly.
