Female rangatahi aged 16 years finding it difficult to think about any future goals, and the difficulty to engage in training, employment or school due to having transport restrictions and living in a remote area.

The rangatahi/youth coach worked alongside our young teen who was not optimistic about her future and struggled to find her own strengths thus leading her to goals she set for self.

In our engagement, the youth coach found she had a special connection to her grandfather who was a mechanic. 

The rangatahi reflected on how much fun she had working alongside him, which motivated her to explore her education and or employment options. 

The rangatahi, established that there was a training course through a local provider of which our teen met the criteria. 

Unfortunately, transportation to attend the course was an issue, but this did not demotivate the rangatahi from pursuing this goal. Currently, our rangatahi is looking for transport options, which this now forms one of her goals. 

The success is our teen can see a future for herself where once this was not their reality.
