More kudos for Manurewa initiative
An innovative programme at Manurewa has hauled in a clutch of prizes from this year’s I Am Auckland youth awards.
Just days after winning a National Youth Award, Taiohi Whai Oranga was named the region’s supreme youth organisation, as well as picking up the Rangatahi Tu Rangatira Youth Organisation Award.
Kuini Tereva won the Rangatahi Tu Rangatira youth leader award, and Were Maiava was named top youth worker.
General manager Deidre Otene says Taiohi Whai Oranga’s Limitless Leadership Group allows rangatahi to develop their potential within a marae setting.
The programme will be funded until 2019 by the Catalysts for Change programme run by Foundation North, previously ASB Community Trust, which is looking to support new approaches to solve complex social issues.
