Kia ora, I'm Sarah. I can can link you up with one of our great digital mentors. They are a team of mentors called the Allies. An Ally is someone who is on your side. It's all done right on your mobile phone using Skype Messenger. |
|
As your Ally, we can keep in touch throughout the week. I'm here to listen, care, show respect, and hopefully brighten up your day. I'm interested in where you want to go in the future, and how to get there. |
|
The Allies is about young people supporting young people. We are all young or youngish ourselves, and do this in our spare time. I'm lucky enough to get to know a great girl in Timaru. |
|
We have been trained by Youthline, and work to a code of ethics - based on showing you respect and positive support. We are supervised. We were selected because we are friendly, emotionally mature, don't judge and do care about others. |
|
You need to be between 12 and 14 years old, and live in the top half of the South Island. Waimate upwards. You'll also need a device (smartphone is best), and access to wifi. |
|
So, get in touch, and get an Ally. |
