YOUTH INTERACTION
We have started this program to help young folks avoid further exclusions from their destined pathways and future, by giving them the skills and guidance they need for life. There aren't many programs out there doing this, so we are stepping in to fill that gap to build that bridge to helping our Rangatahi achieve their goals.
Our goal is simple: We want to create a safe space where young people can learn the kind of skills that will make a real difference in their lives. Instead of getting caught up in problems, We are giving them a chance to learn how to solve problems, communicate effectively, and make smart decisions. Plus, We want to help them pick up job-related skills that will set them up for success in the future.
Ultimately, we are trying to give these young individuals the tools they need to make better choices and really succeed in life. We think this will not only help them but also benefit the whole community by promoting positive contributions.

OUR TREATY OF WAITANGI OBLIGATIONS
The Treaty of Waitangi is a crucial document in our history of New Zealand.
That is why we align the 3 P's and the Treaty of Waitangi with our youth mentoring.
Partnership (Kawanatanga):
The Treaty principle of partnership benefits all learners. It harnesses the knowledge and expertise of the diverse people who can contribute to students’ learning, including families, whānau, iwi, and other community members.
Participation (Tino Rangatiratanga):
Participation is about equality of opportunity and outcomes. Students need to learn how to participate and contribute as active citizens through opportunities to explore and appreciate the rich and diverse cultures, languages, and heritages that shape their identities as New Zealanders
Protection (Manakitanga):
The principle of protection is about actively protecting Māori knowledge, interests, values, and other taonga. Identity, language, and culture are important expressions of what it means to be a culturally located learner. emphasises that “culture counts” and describes a commitment to “knowing, respecting and valuing where students are, where they come from and building on what they bring with them
