Supervision
Supervision enables good youth workers to be great youth workers! It is a supportive relationship with a practitioner who is there to help and guide youth workers learn from experience and manage priorities. Supervision is an ethical commitment of youth work practice guided by the principles of the Code of Ethics for Youth Work in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Rerenga Awa provides the youth sector with a database of youth work supervisors. Below we have listed those Supervisors who have indicated to Rerenga Awa that they are open and ready to support Youth Workers in our region. Let us know if you would like to be available for Supervision.
