Female Mentors needed
Hi, I run an agency called Tipu Skills For Life. We run a program to help girls aged 9- 11 learn skills that will help them in school and in life. We believe all people have strengths and abilities, and people change and grow by realizing these and imagining and growing a positive future.
We are looking to recruit and train female mentors to walk alongside one young person after they have completed the program.
* Someone with a fun-loving attitude.
* Willing to listen and meet a young person on their terms in their space.
*Have a few hours a week for at least 12 months
*Aged 18+
*Full NZ driver's license and a car with a current WOF and registration
*A clean police check

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
