Canterbury - Our youth need you!
Project K is a 14-month mentoring programme that arms young people with a belief in their own ability to complete tasks, achieve goals, and help them find purpose and direction transforming their lives.
An important stage of Project K is mentoring which provides a young person with a friendly shoulder to lean on during their journey. We're after mentors in the Christchurch areas to provide this for the amazing youth we work with.
It's a great chance to do good and impact a young persons life. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in please get in touch with Deb Brown: 09 477 6237 or deb.brown@dinglefoundation.org.nz

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