Talavou/rangatahi at Pro-Pare have come to realise that there have been others who have traversed the learning space before them. Pro-Pare has nurtured three mentors, who themselves were mentees. Mentors are imparting knowledge and experiences from their time with Foafoa. Our mentors are ‘young and still relevant’ to talavou/rangatahi cohorts. They can take risks, and not feel intimidated, or shamed into thinking a mistake is wrong.

Our Tuākana are invaluable to the learning/youth development environment Pro-Pare has created.
