CAW(CORE) Mentoring is a Pasifika faith-based mentoring service supporting young people, Aiga/whānau, and communities across Christchurch.

We provide culturally grounded mentoring and youth development support that strengthens identity, resilience, leadership, wellbeing, and positive life pathways. Our approach is relational, strengths-based, and community focused.

Our work is guided by Pasifika values, faith, connection, and holistic wellbeing. We use recognised frameworks such as the Circle of Mana and the Fonofale Model to support young people in a way that acknowledges the importance of culture, family, spirituality, identity, relationships, and purpose.

We work alongside schools, families, youth justice services, and community organisations to support young people through mentoring, group programmes, outdoor-based activities, and practical support.
