Springboard Community Works - Snells Beach
It’s a community charity which works with the young people in the Warkworth, Matakana, Snells Beach, Wellsford and Te Hana areas. It has the aim of turning around the lives of youth offenders and at-risk young people, and local police have attributed the drop in the crime in the area to the work of this trust. The charity got involved with BIA in 2009 to help set up a mentoring programme to help prevent some of the local young people getting into trouble in the first place by matching them with trained volunteers from their area.
Gary and wife Michelle have had great success in pulling their community together and love hearing from people interested in helping out. Check them out www.springboard.org.nz
