Mahi for Youth

Please note, the Mahi for Youth pop-up is temporarily closed until Feb/March 2023. The team will not be taking any new referrals until then but can still assist with enquiries from youth or potential employers on 0800 4 YOUTH.

Mahi for Youth is a wrap-around support service for Hastings youth aged between 16 - 24 years who are looking for a pathway to education or employment.

Our friendly Youth Connectors are always available to chat and provide support; from preparing a CV and filling in a job application to interview preparation and gaining a driver’s license. They are here to work with you to create a sustainable pathway to employment.

Our Employer Connectors create opportunities for employment by building strong relationships with potential employees, as well as local employers in a range of industries. They provide information for young people on job opportunities and provide pastoral care throughout the employment process. The team also consists of a Hinengaro Connector who provides holistic support to our young people

We also work with other agencies and organisations that support young people – if we don’t provide a specific service, we can put you in touch with someone who does. Whilst the pop-up is closed, please feel free to call us on 0800 4 YOUTH so we can direct you to the appropriate agency.
