BGI Challenge for Change (Wellington Boys' and Girls' Institute) works with rangatahi aged 8 to 16, creating a safe and inclusive space where young people can build the skills and confidence they need to thrive. Research consistently shows that consistent, caring adult relationships are among the most powerful supports for young people's development and wellbeing.

This volunteer opportunity involves meeting one-on-one with a young person for one hour each week throughout the programme, providing positive adult support and helping them set and work towards goals in school, wellbeing, or personal development. Mentors set their own hours after completing the required training, and a consistent, reliable presence is the most important quality a mentor can bring.

What you'll bring:
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to commit consistently to a weekly schedule
• Experience with young people is an advantage

You might be a great fit if you are:
• Patient, warm, and encouraging
• Reliable and dependable
• Strengths-based and youth-focused
• Non-judgmental and trustworthy
