NZSA Youth Mentor Programme
With the support of Creative New Zealand, we offer a Youth Mentor programme aimed at senior secondary school students.
The aims are to nurture, encourage, inspire and develop emerging writers with the support of established authors through the mentoring process.
There are four 9 hour mentorships available nationwide. Students will be matched with an experienced YA writer.
Due to Covid-19 the deadline for applications has been extended to 11 April.
APPLICATIONS FOR THIS PROGRAMME ARE OPEN FROM FEB TO APRIL
