Mentoring is a long-term relationship where one focuses on development, growth, and supporting of the mentee. The mentee benefits from the mentor’s wisdom, support, and teachings. The mentors observe and advise on specific behavior and action changes in daily work. Mentees require a combination of mentoring and coaching which are similar but not equally the same. Coaching is a relationship of limited time where the focus is on eliminating or strengthening of given behaviors. Professionals correct behaviors through the help of coaches to help eliminate or correct behaviors that negatively affect their performance. Coaches also help professionals strengthen and support behaviors that lead to better performances in their activities.
I chose to do an intern at The Extra Mile Club (EMC). I was supervised by Priscilla Drake. My job description involved mentoring kids in a after school tutoring program. I also helped with homework and preparing meals. My job description was on target to the task I had to do. In the beginning, being comfortable and effective was the only challenge I faced. When dealing with kids in the pre adolescence stage I felt intimidated. Over time, working with the children in middle school became easier. I found that if you give them respect and a voice they usual were more manageable. The program dealt with human services on faith, family, education, and sports. EMC has a mission to promoted discipline, academics, leadership, sportsmanship, and self-esteem. EMC aims to promote all these virtues in an enjoyable, safe, and healthy environment through serving God and the community. I do, feel like I preformed to the best of my ability. I improved on my duties by using the knowledge that was given by the mentors and applied it to how I interacted with the children. EMC provides mentoring as a form of human services in a holistic approach to the children, for example, tutoring, Bible study, mentoring, and community service projects. At the end of everyday there was a prayer and a positive motivational script read aloud. I believe through the conditioning of the affirmations the children were able to change some of their negative behaviors. One of the affirmation read was, “I can achieve, if I just believe.” They provided a way to expand the children by attending camps, visiting colleges, and participating in the Amateur Athletic Union Sports for children between 6 and 12 years. All the mentors where there on a volunteer basis and was subject to an annual background check. Therefore, everyone was there because they cared. The Extra Mile Club (EMC) is a non-profit organization located in Beaufort, South Carolina. The organization was established in 2008 after the need to develop new positive alternatives in Beaufort by Chris Dantzler. The positive alternatives were aimed at changing the stereotypical images of the children in the c ...

4. Data supporting our focus:
Current New Zealand statistics state that:
• 1 in every 5 students will drop out in the first year of their tertiary studies.
(Tertiary Education Commission, 2013)
• 40% of students don’t finish their tertiary qualifications.
(Tertiary Education Commission, 2010)
These are powerful statistics that need to be addressed. Students are leaving school
with pressures from all areas of their lives to make a decision as to what they are
going to do. The transition from adolescence into adulthood is an important time in
the lives of youth and these added stresses can make this decision rather daunting.
A lot of time, money and wasted efforts can be spent by the students pursuing
career options that are not valid and are not in alignment with their true desires and
passions.
Facts on bullying:
• Adolescence who are bullied are three times more likely to show depressive
symptoms, says the Centre for Adolescent Health.
• Children who were bullied were up to nine times more likely to have suicidal
thoughts, say some studies.
• Girls were much more likely than boys to be victims of both cyber and
traditional bullying, says a recent Murdoch Children’s Research Institute
study.
• Young people who bully have a one in four chance of having a criminal
record by the age of 30.
• Bullying is the fourth most common reason young people seek help from
children’s help services.
• In the first of its kind New Zealand survey- 94% of school staff have seen
bullying in their school- Victoria University.
New Zealand Youth suicide rates - males fourth-highest and females
second-highest in the developed world.
“I had no idea that children kill themselves because their hearts are broken
through relationship break ups, because they’re scared of being in debt for the
rest of their lives, because they’re bullied. I just didn’t know, and God I wish I had.”
- Maria Bradshaw, parent of 17 year old Toran (Takapuna Grammar Student), who
tragically took his own life.

thought I could. It taught me to figure
out what I really wanted, set goals
and map out the steps I need to take
to achieve them. My confidence has
grown and I feel a lot clearer about
my next steps.

7. Our StoryOur Story
In 2010 Empower NZ’s Managing Director Sarah Devereaux trained as a Coach
through Momentum Life Coaching and Training in Auckland. Soon after she
became an internationally Credentialed Coach through the International Coach
Federation.
Sarah’s Vision is to influence a ripple effect of positive change throughout New
Zealand. Starting with an area of passion, instilled from first-hand experience, Sarah
decided to dedicate her work towards assisting youth through the trying times of
transitioning from adolescence into adulthood.
In 2012 Sarah opened Momentum Life Coaching and Training in Tauranga. Since
then she has continued to coach youth through Momentum as well as engaging
in volunteer youth work for organisations such as Summer Hills Youth Academy,
Foundation for Youth Development and Te Aranui Youth Trust.
Throughout 2013 – 2014 Sarah spent a great deal of time, effort and financial
commitment developing an innovative youth coaching program aimed at
transforming the future of New Zealand youth. The program primarily focused on
self-confidence, career path clarity, bullying prevention, and self-ownership. Her
aim was to equip youth with the tools and skills which would enable them to enter
adulthood with self-belief, motivation and clarity.
In 2014 the youth coaching program was launched and research was carried out
through pilot studies from a cross-section of around 40 high school-aged students in
Auckland and Tauranga. The program was well received, although many schools
were needing support to participate due to funding constraints.
On completion of the pilot program, the behaviour change observed between the
pre-program and post-program assessments were so compelling that she had to act.
The “ripple effect” had started; with data demonstrating the extraordinary changes in
attitudes and outlook for youth that had completed the program. Findings displayed
significant improvements in youth’s career clarity, self-confidence, motivation and
self-ownership.
Sarah was so compelled by the data that she set out to form Empower NZ as a
charity to enable funding to support extending the youth programs across New
Zealand. Empower NZ’s next step is to offer youth programs to schools and youth
organisations in 2015, targeting Auckland, Tauranga and Wellington first. Youth will
now be able to access these programs, with funding support from Empower NZ and
the organisations benefactors.
The Empower NZ board consists of 5 members. Each board member contributes
a unique range of skills and expertise coupled with their passion to move forward
towards the Vision. Jo Lanigan a Personal Success Coach and Trainer- Momentum
Life Coaching and Training, Katrina Hulsebosch, a partner at Harris Tate in Tauranga,
Siarn Stowers a Coach and Regional Manager/Public Servant and Rod Way, Bay of
Plenty Business Advisor – Advantage Business.
In March 2015, Empower NZ was awarded national charitable status through the
New Zealand Charities Commission and our opportunity to create positive change
for youth in New Zealand has now arrived.
