– Developing and maintaining positive relationships with stakeholders including schools, education providers, and other youth or community organisations
– Delivering over 50 workshops personally to young people every year in the Waikato
– Identifying and developing new content or workshops to meet the needs of young people and the community
You should be able to tick off some of the boxes below or demonstrate relevant and comparable experiences:
