For YOU!
At Youth Anchoring Youth, our vision is to transform academic support into an accessible and engaging experience for students across Aotearoa under our signature motto "Say 'YAY' For No Pay!" We provide a diverse range of subjects led by a premier team of student-leaders dedicated to inspiring the next generation. Research suggests that peer-to-peer mentoring is frequently more effective for young learners than traditional adult instruction. For this reason, we are committed to providing top-tier academic assistance that removes financial barriers and logistical stress. Youth Anchoring Youth is here to bridge the gap between students and the educational tools they deserve.

Beyond their outstanding academic strengths, their work ethic and quality of service are truly distinguished — they arrive prepared for every session, follow up on Angela's progress, and have never missed a commitment since they started last year. That they've given their time so generously as volunteers makes their dedication all the more remarkable. Our daughter Angela adores them, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any family. Watching Juliet and Lisa lead the way for their generation, we feel as proud of them as their own parents must be."

Our Core Team
Juliet Jackson • Co-Founder
Kia ora friends, I'm Juliet. I have been a student at St Cuthbert's College since Year 8, currently going on Year 12. Considering that many youth don't receive the same level of education that we receive, we find it imperative to share our knowledge with those who are disadvantaged and encounter learning difficulties. Youth Anchoring Youth has been established to narrow the differences so each of us stand on equal ground.
Kia ora koutou, I'm Lisa. I've attended St Cuthbert's College since Year 7. Throughout my time there, I have discovered the value of education and the limitless opportunities it brings. Accordingly, my attention has been brought to the ongoing educational disparity in Aotearoa where the value-to-cost ratio does not justify the expense. Hence, we have decided to bridge that gap by catering an accessible academic mentoring programme to youth in the area.
