CAN YOU MAKE ‘THE’ DIFFERENCE?
We believe if you have compassion, maturity and exceptional commitment and we provide you with experienced and quality professional support.... together ‘we’ can make the difference! We are seeking committed, passionate, energetic, and grounded youth mentors to support our young people aged 12 to 16 in foster care during and after school, and on weekends. Number of hours vary.
Can you set boundaries and stick to them? Provide outstanding role modelling to young people? Be highly self-motivated? Be ready for a prompt start? Do you have the energy to spend one on one time with an individual young person and provide positive influence? Our young people have had many challenges in life, not of their doing, and this means they struggle to find their place in the world. Our mentors are their to support them as they find their way.
You will need:
- A full driver’s license.
- Your own car/car insurance.
- To pass police and Oranga Tamariki checks
- Knowledge of supporting youth who have challenges.

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)
.
