Our Mission

Youth Pathways supports and guides young people in finding a path in life that reflects their potential as an individual, member of their whanau, culture and community.

 

Youth Pathways is a non-profit organisation (NGO) that focuses solely on the development of young people and their whānau. Our point of difference is that we work mostly one-on-one with young people, mentoring and guiding them.

Youth Pathways is based on strong governance, staffed by a motivated and passionate team with a diverse range of skills and expertise.

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.
