Volunteer Mentors Needed for Refugees to Learn to Drive

Amie Maga from Migrant Action Trust

Volunteers Needed to Teach Former Refugees to Drive

It's music to our ears whenever our refugee background learners share that they got full-time job after getting their licence. Can you help us help more beginner drivers to pass their practical driving tests?

Those who don't have a driver's licence have extra challenges: simply getting around, attending job interviews, appointments or taking children to school.

Supporting a former refugee to learn to drive is a practical way of helping them settle in their new country.

We need volunteer mentors to support new learners for August-December 2020 intake.

As a volunteer, you will be given full training and the use of a dual-controlled car. Email expression of interest to openroad.migrantaction@gmail.com or call Amie - 021 028 487 80

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
