One adult. One hour. One kid who’ll never forget it.
🧒🏽✨ It only takes one hour a week to change a young life.
He Kāhui Tāngata is a youth mentoring programme right here in the Taupō district — and they’re looking for everyday legends to help light the way 💛
This kaupapa pairs young people aged 9–12 with caring adults who can offer a steady presence, a listening ear, and a bit of encouragement.
You don’t need special training, a flash career, or a long CV.
You just need to show up, consistently, and care.
🕐 Just 1 hour a week
👂 A commitment to listen
✅ A clear police check
❤️ And a whole lot of heart
📍Come meet the team at COMAVOL 2025 and find out how you can get involved.
Because sometimes, the most powerful thing you can give… is your time.
