Description
LIFT aims to deliver the mission of 100% youth employment for the Hawkes Bay region. We work with the most disadvantaged and excluded young people to create a job-led ‘wrap-a-round’ approach that provides pathways for young people into sustainable employment or self-employment. As a social enterprise, LIFT delivers services that have been designed by local rangatahi. LIFT is delivered by a young local team, who offer a unique relatability and can build relationships and rapport others cannot. We reach young people and whanau using non-traditional approaches, which has resulted in engagement with numbers of ‘hard to reach’ unemployed young people far exceeding expectations.
