Ways to Support

There are lots of ways you can help young people by getting involved. 

Upside Youth Mentoring is a non-government community organisation, which relies solely on the generosity of the community it serves - thanks to people like you, for choosing to support mentoring where it’s most needed.

 

Become a Monthly Giver 

Become part of a team to support mentoring relationships throughout the year; by choosing to make a monthly donation for young people. Your gift will see a young person supported from the referral process to finding their match, and the 12-month journey they will travel together each week, plus five fun events per year (including camp) and a 12-month graduation celebration. 

Your commitment with other Monthly Giving peers means the world of difference to young people and their whānau. 
For more information, contact Mel on 09 361 1088 to chat or via email today.

Give Once

While our service is free, the cost of supporting mentoring relationships for young people is not.

Donations – large or small – will help to continue to support young people to feel a little brighter and a little more loved than they did yesterday. Please give now and support Upside's mission to support change in Aotearoa New Zealand's young people with adverse childhood experiences.

Did you know, ImpactLab's research finding revealed for every dollar raised, there is a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of $4.70 - which we think is pretty neat for New Zealand and young people!
