Opportunity for Young People
Carabiner Mentoring is an unique programme for young people with disabilities who demonstrate motivation and determination to achieve a specific goal. Carabiner makes a connection between these young people and an "expert" or leader in their field of interest. Young people have the opportunity to connect with someone who has "been there and done that", while mentors have the opportunity to pass on their knowledge and experiences, and see young people achieve their goals and aspirations.
If you, or you know of a young person who:
Are aged between 18-25
Have a disability
Have a specific aspirational goal
Are driven and motivated to achieve
Please get in touch with us through private message or email kerri@carabiner
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)
.
