An important message about trains: Please be advised that balloons cannot be carried on trains or in the stations due to the risk of them flying away and hitting the overhead power lines.

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.
