​​​​​​​Meet your mentors

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our Youth Mentors are local people who know Counties Manukau, because they’re from here. They’ve supported plenty of rangatahi through exactly the spot you might be in right now, and there’s no such thing as a silly question. Pick whoever you feel most comfortable with and send them a text — no pressure, just a chat.
