Zara's been a youth worker for over 15 years, and involved in training youth workers for nearly 10 of them. She has worked in Youth Work and youth ministry fields and teaches and trains in both Christian and secular settings. She has worked in several national roles including managing Korowai Tupu (professional association for youth workers) and travelling Aotearoa top to toe speaking in high schools with Attitude. Her experience in National NGO managerial roles offers unique insight into ethics, policies and team leadership. Therefore, Zara's Code of Ethics trainings are a perfect collision of her worlds and experience. She loves to bring theory into real-life scenarios and empower youth workers to do what they do best: build quality relationships with young people. Alongside being a Mum, Zara lectures at Laidlaw College as part of their Practical Theology team, primarily teaching youth ministry. We promise you're in good, safe and fun hands in a Zara facilitated training.
Zara is based in Ōtautahi, Christchurch but available to facilitate nationally.
