MANA is born from the Polynesian worldview on Personal Power, Strength and Energy. It is about who we are as a person.
It is a force that can be gained and lost through any and all of our day to day actions.
How does this ancient philosophy apply to Youth Service Delivery and Mentoring?
Well, here at MANA Youth Project we believe that by fostering positive community connections and learning to foster congruence; that is when our believes and values are ‘in-tune’ with our words and actions, we can create, nurture and circulate positive and long lasting wellbeing in our communities.
Intergenerational Mentoring is led by adults & Elders throughout our communities who are invested in the next seven generations of young people.
We are in the business of connecting young people to mentors and providing a safe, purpose-led and consistent commitment to helping young people gain authorship over their unique identities and personal narratives through defining their character strengths, values, belief systems and mission in life.
