Speaker : Jessica Finucane of Big Brothers Big Sisters. This organisation offers quality mentoring relationships for young people in New Zealand. Their mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of youth through professionally supported mentoring relationships. They provide tamariki (young kiwi kids) with a trained mentor. They match young people between the age of 6 and 12 years with a mentor until the young person turns 18. See bigbrothersbigsisters.org.nz...
Incidentally - the NZ Defence Force has become a corporate member of BPW NZ (as well as signing up to the Women's Empowerment Principles www.weps.org.nz...) so any member of the NZ Army, Navy or Air Force will be warmly welcomed to our meetings as a member. The cost is as listed above for all coming to the meeting.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
