OUR PATHWAYS

Supervision with Activity (Mana)

A full-time individualised development programme heavily focused on reducing youth offending and introducing a range of pro-social activities that re-integrates young people in the community.

Mentoring

This programme provides individualised and intensive support, positive guidance, encouragement, opportunity and challenge which assists the young person to achieve their goals and aspirations.

Transition to Adulthood

The Transition to Adulthood programme has a strong focus on preparing and guiding young adults towards greater independence. Young adults leaving care are supported to gain knowledge across multiple transitional domains.

Alternative Education

Youth Pathways’ alternative education provides educational support for students between 13 and 15 years of age who have disengaged from mainstream schooling. As a short term intervention, alternative education re-engages students in a meaningful learning programme targeted to their individual needs and supports them to transition back to mainstream school, further education, training or employment.

FEE FOR SERVICE (FFS)

All of these Pathways are available to the wider community on a Fee for Service basis.

SERVICES

The Intensive Youth Worker formulates an individualised development plan. Our Pathways can be run on any timeframe depending on the needs of the young person.
We work closely with the wider Ōtautahi community and various other agencies within the youth development sector to achieve a sustainable outcome for young people and their whānau.

our Supporters

We would like to acknowledge the following organisations for their continued support (financial or otherwise). Without these amazing people, what we do at Youth Pathways would not be possible. 

koru_on_white.png

Our symbol ‘koru’ consists of three spirals all going in the same direction. This represents the path our young people are on and the support required by whānau, staff and stakeholders. 

The bright red spiral is our young people and the most important part of this koru, they are the centre of all we do. The next grey spiral represents their whānau, significant persons and stakeholders, as without their involvement we will not achieve what we seek to for our young people. The remaining spiral is the Youth Pathways team of dedicated staff and board members who are all heading in the same direction alongside our young people, their whānau and stakeholders to guide them on their path.

Youth Pathways, Te Ara Rangatahi is exactly as it says, “Pathways for our youth”. We seek to explore a variety of opportunities and to identify pathways that reflects the young person’s potential.
