Be the Mentor you wish you had.

Debbie Leaver from YWCA Auckland

Mentors play a huge role in the lives of these young women and gain just as much out of the programme as the girls they mentor. It is an opportunity to learn about other cultures and network with like-minded women. While mentors take the opportunity to hold the door open for younger women to reach their full potential, they come away with unique experiences that enrich their own lives.

Here is a video about the programme - vimeo.com...

2017 mentee intakes will come from Kelston Girls High School, Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate and Tamaki College.

Please note; this is a two to three year commitment. The actual time you will need to commit on a monthly basis is flexible and will depend on your relationship with your mentee. Almost all of our mentors tell us that what starts off feeling like a big commitment, becomes a fun experience they look forward to and it becomes a pleasure, not a burden.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
