Olivia Crump's Peer Mentor Journey
Take a moment and to read Olivia Crump's story on her experience as a Stars Peer Mentor.
When mentoring young people, Olivia quickly learnt being adaptable was one of the biggest ways to connect with the younger students.
For some students, they were reluctant and didn’t want to partake in activities, she found sitting down and having general conversations opened up students and changed the view on mentors to be relatable and less intimidating. This encouraged students to interact not only inside the classroom but during lunch breaks and after school.
One of the biggest takeaways from being a stars peer mentor for Olivia was the opportunities that came from the community project and doing something positive for other people. Meeting people through the community and the Graeme Dingle Foundation allowed Olivia to get her very first corporate job at Kerridge & Partners which is something she will always appreciate and remember.

Poll: Do you think this is probably the reason?
Work changes, divorces and other life events are probably behind many of Waikato’s loss-making house sales, a realtor says.
Recent figures revealed more than 10% properties resold in Hamilton and Waikato District went for less than what the sellers had paid.
