Meet Finn! One of our Trainee Youth Workers here at YAT. Finn started his journey here coming to Rock Solid when he was in intermediate and is currently involved in Tamatāne, OSCAR, Surge, Holiday Programmes, Breakaway and mentoring. He loves his music, playing disc golf in the summer and Formula 1. Finn’s “why” behind what he does is simple to support our Eastside young people and whānau so they can succeed and better their own expectations of themselves. “Growing up in this place my leaders were and still are a great support for me and motivate me to be bettering myself each day. I want to give our young people the same support that I have received in my time here at YAT”.
