Young Person Mentor
Our youth need you!
Project K is a 6 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 (That's where you come in!)
This is an incredible opportunity to contribute to your community, to gain leadership experience, and to have a greater understanding of people and how to better support them. You will be given training from an accredited Mentor trainer and learn many transferable skills!
Project K focuses on building confidence, developing life skills, 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. It also introduces them to many positive role models who help to shape them and guide them towards a brighter future, the bond created between mentors and students are impactful for both parties and can have positive results beyond the 6-month programme.
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 6 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.
We have mentoring opportunities available throughout Auckland. If you are interested in becoming a Project K mentor during 2026 please reach out to us!
