ME Family Services Rangatahi Mentorship Programme – Te Ara Rangatahi Ki Taiao – provides environmental education, hands-on experience, practical skills and exposure to ‘green’ career pathways.

Our programme is intended for Māngere-Ōtāhuhu high school students in schools/kura (15yrs-18yrs) and community rangatahi (18yrs – 24yrs).

The programme is intended to create pathways into further activities such as urban greening, waste management, and climate resilience initiatives, which improve local environmental conditions, strengthen community resilience and foster stewardship.

The programme supports physical activity, mental well-being and a sense of agency among rangatahi.
