Youth Inspire, supported by Hutt City Council, is committed to empowering young people in Lower Hutt and Wainuiomata to reach their potential and become work-ready. One of the most practical steps toward employment for many young people is obtaining a restricted driver's licence, and volunteer mentors make that possible.

This volunteer opportunity involves providing two driving lessons per week to a young person through the Driving School programme, using an automatic vehicle supplied by the organisation, over a period of up to three months. Mentors must be over 25 years old with a full NZ driving licence held for at least two years, and commit to approximately three hours per week for 12 weeks. Lessons can be arranged during daytime, evenings, or weekends to suit both mentor and student.

What you'll bring:
• A full NZ driver's licence held for at least two years
• Age 25 or over
• A confident, calm driving manner and good knowledge of the NZ Road Code

You might be a great fit if you are:
• Patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in youth success
• Reliable and consistent over a 12-week programme
• A natural mentor and positive role model
