Mentoring Providers
Young Life NZ Trust
Young Life NZ Trust has been providing quality youth work and youth worker training to the East Auckland community since 1999. The Young Life New Zealand Trust is dedicated to supporting our teenagers. We believe they deserve every chance to reach their full potential as confident, resilient, community-minded adults.
We believe that the best intervention in a young person’s life isn’t another programme, or short term project, but the presence of a caring adult who will take the time to build a lasting relationship with a young person and walk with them throughout their teenage years and beyond.
Programme details
Overview
We provide mentoring, life coaching, a place to belong, a person to confide in and a trusted connection to the adult world. Our key strategies to achieve our purposes are:
1. Facilitating a Presence-Based Youth Worker Programme to serve in secondary schools and in the greater community.
2. Facilitating and supporting Youth Communities for students to belong to where they can have fun, meet new friends and be encouraged to make positive choices.
3. Providing camping opportunities that challenge and inspire teenagers.
4. Offering presence-based Youth Work training and mentoring opportunities for students, youth workers and youth work organisations.

About the mentoring
Our youth workers are based in Botany Downs Secondary College, Howick College, and Pakuranga College where we support students through our mentoring, sporting, and other programs. The age range we mentor is 13 - 18 years old. The expectation is that the mentoring relationship will last for more than 1 year. Mentors meet with the young person weekly. Mentees have a range of options to choose from, so head over to our website to learn more!
