We have a deep concern for the number of young people dropping out of school with no literacy or numeracy skills. The reasons for this are vast, and we're actively providing solutions. We could use your help. https://lnkd.in/g8ZqSWbp

About us
By providing proven wrap around support programmes, Springboard creates opportunities for young people to achieve positive outcomes and pathways to success. We focus on personal wellbeing by creating a place of belonging and celebrating one-to-one connections, whilst also engaging family and the wider community. Springboard’s holistic and integrated approach employs proven multi-dimensional family and community-based programmes that fully encompass the needs of at-risk young people. These programmes create pathways for the young people to move between as they journey with Springboard staff and mentors. The relationships developed often provide early intervention and opportunities to the head off potentially compounding ‘risk factors’. The Springboard Model places the young person at the centre of a network of professional and voluntary mentors, family and community members, targeting their entire social support system. Springboard provides a wrap-around service that engages the community in delivery. Springboard’s toolkit of programmes include: – alternative education, an intervention programme for youth offenders, work transition initiatives to help young people gain employment, wellbeing support services including parenting courses, counselling and practical support, an intensive preventative mentoring programme and community engagement initiatives.

Some children experience events that are so distressing they are unable to move forward, unable to engage and unable to learn. This concerns us and if it concerns you too, why don't you join us in doing something about it? https://lnkd.in/g3vr52KJ

Mac Calvert and Trevor McLeod were men of great influence and had great impact on us. To the Calvert and McLeod families, thank you for your years of dedication to Springboard and our young people.

How good!!!!!
Nothing beats face to face time, especially when it's with our charity partners! I've had the amazing privilege of working with these three organisations in NZ for over a year - Springboard, Kindness Collective Foundation and Voices of Hope. Whilst their support services and models are very different, what they share is their heart and values - an unwavering belief that every child and young person deserves the same opportunities in life, and that it takes all of us to make an impact. I've had an amazing week, spending time with these inspirational humans and learning more about how we, as an industry, can help. If you'd like to know more about one or more of these amazing organisations, and how you can help, drop me a line. We've only just begun 💛 #UnLtd #Impact
