Be a part of something bigger.
Want to be a part of something special in 2026?
At its heart, mentoring is about showing up, having fun, and being a mate. It's the most meaningful and rewarding way to spend your time.
Volunteer mentors act as an aunty, uncle, big brother or big sister figure who are the joke tellers, adventurers, trusted, askable adults that the children we support often miss.
And right now, there are tamariki waiting to be matched with a mentor.
If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something bigger, this is your invite!
One of the four pillars of Tongan language is tauhi vā, maintaining good relationships, and if you can keep that with the younger people, that goes a long way."
- Fonua, Volunteer Mentor
