What our kaimahi say about working at Mana
Billy
WHAT MADE YOU BECOME A YOUTH WORKER?
“I started as a youth worker to help look after my family as the pay is good and there is flexibility with our shift patterns. My role enables me to help provide rangatahi with structure and discipline and I enjoy the part I play in helping change the lives of our at risk youth.”
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE MANA TEAM?
”Strong family values, trust, structure and different tools or techniques that can be used to help break down barriers with our rangatahi.”
Dion
WHAT MADE YOU BECOME A YOUTH WORKER?
“I remember when I was growing up, my Mum would bring kids into our house off the street and teach them how to cook a meal. As an adult, I too share her passion for teaching life skills to rangatahi and this job allows me to do this.”
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE MANA TEAM?
“Enthusiasm, trust, a sense of humour and a strong desire to help others learn, up-skill and give back.”
Koro
WHAT MADE YOU BECOME A YOUTH WORKER?
“I’ve always wanted to share my passion for alternative learning. Teaching Tikanga and te reo allows the rangtahi to develop deeper connections with their culture and ultimately gives them a stronger sense of identity.”
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE MANA TEAM?
”I bring respect, empathy and gratitude for the work we do. The team know that they can call on me for anything if they need to decompress after a hard shift and I will offer advice when needed.”
Why Mana?
We work with complex and high-needs rangatahi, which requires our kaimahi to be the best of the best — elite!
