SHINE Leadership &
Youth Development
Supporting children and young people to discover their strengths, grow in confidence, and let their light SHINE!
Guided by the Lighthouse Model, SHINE supports children and young people to grow in confidence, self-awareness, and leadership through strengths-based reflection.
Supported by a Lighthouse KEEPER, young people are invited to pause, reflect on their experiences, and discover the strengths, insights, and goals that shape their journey.
This reflective process leads to a SHINE Leadership Development Plan — a student-owned, strengths-based tool that captures their voice, supports meaningful conversations, and helps guide the next steps in their growth.
Dare to Dream. Choose to SHINE.
Target Audience: Children and young people
Purpose:
SHINE is our creative, strengths-based leadership approach that invites young people to discover their unique leadership space and step into the driver’s seat as narrators, reflectors and writers of their own story.
Delivery:
1:1 mentoring, whānau conversations, small group sessions, and classroom settings using our Lighthouse reflection resources.
Outcome: Young people develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and leadership through guided reflection and strengths-based discovery.
