 Kia ora, Talofa lava. Welcome

We are a catalyst for change for young people. Our youth coaches and tutors empower success through education, training and wrap-around support. While our front-line staff manage and find solutions for the increasing and complex challenges our young people face today, the rest of our organisation works to support this mahi and its structure has been important for Comcol’s success over the years.

Read our report - Education for young people at risk.  The challenge ... and the opportunity Prepared by Roger Smyth in association with Comcol (Community Colleges NZ Ltd) Nov 2023.
​In 2022 we started our sustainability journey and we were assessed by Toitū Envirocare in May 2023 .  We are so proud to be awarded with Carbonreduce certification.  Watch this space... we will keep you posted on our sustainability journey.
