Join the businesses each supporting a young person through a full year of life changing mentoring.
Many young people referred to Upside struggle to attend school regularly or engage in learning. But mentoring is turning that around. Now, more of our tamariki are being recognised at prizegivings - for academic progress, sporting success, leadership, and personal growth.
When you Sponsor a Future, you directly fund one full year of mentoring for a young person referred to Upside.
Your $3,500 investment covers:
Recruitment and professional training for the volunteer mentor
A carefully matched mentoring relationship
Tailored ongoing support for the mentor, young person and whanau
Event experiences that build confidence, belonging and resilience
As a Business Supporter, you'll receive a personalised update on the difference you helped make.
You’re not funding a programme.
You’re backing a young person, at the time they need it most.
Independent evaluation shows Upside mentoring leads to:
Improved mental and physical wellbeing
Stronger engagement at school
Reduced risk of violence, addiction and criminal behaviour
For every dollar invested, there is a $4.70 return in social value.
This is early intervention that works.
This is measurable, lasting change.
If your company is interested in long-term change for young people across Auckland, we’d love to chat.
