This highly successful programme has been run by New Zealand Blue Light in partnership with NZ Defence Force for the past 11 years and has adventure-based experiential learning as a key part of the programme.
The programme provides 14- to 17-year-olds with critical life skills such as self-development, self-control and teamwork experience that will enable young people to be successful in their homes, schools, communities and employment.
Up to 12 courses are held each year in Auckland, the central North Island and Burnham locations.
Blue Light is a not-for-profit charity that works in partnership with the Police to create positive connections between young people and the Police, helping young people find direction, fun and a sense of belonging within their communities, enabling them to develop life skills, leadership skills and find employment opportunities.
Blue Light believes it is through the empowerment of disadvantaged youth to reach their full potential that their overall wellbeing can be improved, and in turn the wellbeing of their communities.
