Group Programme Mentor

Overview

Lead by expert facilitators and outdoor instructors, you will participate in activities alongside the rangatahi, acting as a positive role model and helping to create a safe and caring environment for participants.

Responsibilities

• Participate in activities alongside the rangatahi, acting as a positive role model and helping to create a safe and caring environment for participants.
• During 7 weekly catchups, rangatahi will take part in various experiences designed to help them build relationships, improve their wellbeing and understand themselves better. The programme concludes with rangatahi and men attending a 4-day wilderness camp. Here, their strengths, self-confidence, resilience, and coping strategies are further developed through a number of challenges and activities while out in nature.
• Support the mentorship and personal growth journey for both rangatahi and mentors alike.

We know this will be a memorable and impactful journey for the young people and the mentors alike.

Time required

This programme runs in Term 2 and Term 3. Mentors will need to be available for training for one evening at the start, then the 7-week programme (held on a Sunday each week) and the 3-night adventure camp at the end.

Reimbursement

Petrol vouchers will be provided to assist with transport costs

Requirements

As the safety and happiness of our rangatahi is paramount to our success, all men will go through our selection process. We want to ensure that you are right for Big Buddy and we are the right organisation for you. We aren’t looking for superheroes, we are simply looking for good guys from our community who care. The selection process includes police vetting, reference checks and an interview.
