Meet our Mentors
Mentoring our youth to grow
At Pathfinders, our Specialised Youth Mentors provide compassionate, trauma-informed support tailored to each young person’s unique journey. While not counsellors, they are empathetic listeners who understand the impact of trauma on behaviour and engagement. By sharing their passion in specific interest areas, mentors build strong connections and help young people develop skills and confidence. They work collaboratively to set goals, overcome challenges, and create a safe, supportive space for growth.
