About
Our focus is working with whanau supporting youth and whanau to achieve their goals.
We strongly believe that the more our people are engaged in activities out in their communities, the more skills they are learning and the more culturally connected they become. We encourage our rangatahi and whanau to be active members of the community, developing leadership roles and therefore becoming role models to the future generations.
Support Services
