Change someone’s life today

We’re proud to support Upside Youth Mentoring Aotearoa — a charity that matches rangatahi (young people) navigating tough times with a trained volunteer mentor who shows up, week after week, just for them.

The through-line with our own kaupapa is simple: AI is powerful, but it can be isolating — people need people. A mentor is the most human technology there is. One steady adult in a young person’s corner changes the whole trajectory of a life.

Why it fits our values

• Humble — mentoring isn’t about having the answers, it’s about showing up.
• Courageous — it takes guts to be matched, and guts to keep turning up.
• Respectful — every young person is met exactly where they are.
• Open — building a connected community, one relationship at a time.

How you can help

If our community has given you something, consider passing it on. You can become a mentor, donate, or simply share Upside’s mahi with someone who might.
