About Us
At LIFT Social Enterprise, we are committed to creating a future where Rangatahi (youth) in Hawke’s Bay has access to sustainable and fulfilling employment or self-employment opportunities.

Bounce
Power Your Path to Wellbeing
The Bounce Program is a 3 week programme that gives the foundational skills every job seeker needs before they can get out there and really start living their dream. Not only does the program give confidence, motivation and clarity; it also helps people discover, plan and work towards goals for their future while breaking through the personal and emotional barriers that are holding them back.
Leap
Take A Leap of Faith
Designed for Rangatahi (17–24), this 6-week program builds confidence, self-awareness, and mental readiness through Te Whare Tapa Wha. With daily fitness, team building, employment coaching, and wellbeing support, it prepares youth for the NZDF Limited Service Volunteer Course or future study and mahi. Participants also gain valuable connections with local employers and mentors along the way.
Link
Job Coaching – Level up for work
Lift’s Job Coaching Programme ‘LINK’ supports Rangatahi on their employment journey with one-on-one mentoring tailored to individual goals. Coaches help build confidence, develop job-seeking skills, and guide participants through CV writing, interview prep, and workplace expectations. The LINK programme connects youth with training, job opportunities, and local employers, supporting every step of the way.
Driver Training
Take A Leap of Faith
Getting your licence opens doors, and LIFT is here to support that journey. With help from local providers, we offer driver training for Rangatahi working towards their learner’s, restricted, or full licence. Our experienced instructors deliver practical, supportive lessons to build skills and confidence on the road. Gaining your licence can boost job prospects, independence, and everyday freedom.
