Young Person Mentor

Our youth need you!

Project K is an 8- month mentoring programme designed for Year 10 students. It involves three parts: wilderness adventure, community challenge and an individual mentoring partnership with a trained mentor.

Project K focuses on building confidence, developing life skills, promoting good health and encouraging a positive attitude. Project K arms these young people with a belief in their own ability to complete tasks, achieve goals, and help them find purpose and direction to overcome life’s obstacles.

The mentor phase of Project K is perhaps the most important part of the programme. Carefully screened and trained mentors are paired with students for 8 months to support and encourage them in achieving their goals. Mentors need to build trusting, authentic partnerships with their mentees and provide a friendly shoulder for them to lean on.

If you are interested in becoming a Project K mentor during 2024 or 2025, please reach out to us!
