New Mentoring Programme to Christchurch. Mentors Needed
Carabiner Mentoring is a unique programme for young people with disabilities who demonstrate the skills, motivation and determination to achieve a specific aspirational goal.
Carabiner matches young people with “experts” and leaders in the field that they are aspiring towards. Mentors do not need experience with disability, as the most important link between the young person and the mentor is the shared interest and the introduction to a new network that can support the mentee with their goal.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
