FACILITATORS
Partners New Zealand Trust Partners New Zealand have traditionally focused on vocational partnerships between schools and businesses. However, they are available to assist with any other partnerships discussed in this guide. Co-ordinators work from a six-stage process which is tailored to suit the needs of each partnership in an ongoing cycle. more »Regional Partnership Facilitator Organisations These organisations have formed in a range of locations over the past few years with the common purpose to facilitate business/school links and partnerships, for economic development and social well-being. All operate as charitable trusts, with paid co-ordinators and board representatives from key sectors of their region – business, education, local government and central government agencies. There is some variation in their funding sources and each has priorities to match the particular needs of their location. They actively strive to avoid overlap and work co-operatively. more »Youth Mentoring Associations Youth mentoring began developing in New Zealand in the mid 1990s. In 2000, two voluntary associations were formed to pool knowledge, promote best practice and facilitate the growth of mentoring programmes to meet what is clearly a major need for young people. One is Auckland-based, AYMA – the Auckland Youth Mentoring Association, the other is centred on Wellington and the South Island, YMAANZ – the Youth Mentoring Association of Aotearoa New Zealand. more » |
