#INVOLVE25
Our CEO, Funding Coordinator and Board Chair just spent an amazing two days at @arataiohi 's @involveconference ! The vibes, structure and sessions were on point and we loved being immersed in the youth work sector and all the amazing people who contribute to this mahi! Friends were made, tangelos were eaten, and we even got to see a bunch of tuna in the Ōtākaro. We attended sessions on everything from disability accessibility to mana motuhake, and are feeling inspired and aflame with gratitude for the youth work sector. Here's the future! Shout out @arataiohi and shout out @thetindallfoundation who helped us get here! (second pic feat us rocking out hehe)
✨ INVOLVE 2025 – WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! ✨
@involveconference
Last week we had the privilege of being part of the Involve Conference at @tepaechristchurch and what an incredible couple of days it was.
It was an honour to connect with so many amazing people and organisations from across the motu, all passionate about the same kaupapa, supporting, empowering, and uplifting our rangatahi.
A big mihi to @arataiohi for creating this space and giving us the opportunity to be part of it.
Ngā mihi nui also to our awesome kaimahi Karereatua and Terongomaianiwaniwa Williams for capturing some beautiful moments along the way
Until next time, Involve – ka mau te wehi!
