LinC (Leadership in Communities)

Puāwai

You have the wings to fly but you can’t take that leap
You have the ideas to create but you’re not sure how to activate them
You want to change the world you just don’t know where to start

 

WHY – purpose
Puāwai is a leadership experience for 40 rangatahi/young people ages 15-18  designed to:
• Connect with others to network, innovate and create change
• Develop real skills, knowledge and confidence with a focus on strengths and knowing who you are
• Provide opportunities for rangatahi from diverse communities, informed by kaupapa Māori principles

 

 

WHO – young people   

Puāwai is for rangatahi who have already demonstrated their involvement within their whānau, friend group, school or community but are not yet recognised for their mahi (efforts).
This would include young people who want to grow their skills and experience and have not yet received leadership development opportunities, due to discrimination or being marginalised.

Rangitahi who join the programme will be supported by a tuākana (mentor) from their own community

 

WHAT – components
The rangatahi in the Puāwai programme will;  
• Receive Strengths Coaching on their Top 5 Strengths
• Attend a two-day wānanga of workshops, experiences, networking and leadership
• Design and facilitate Activator events – youth-led practical projects

 

HOW – supporters

Puāwai is a part of the LinC Project (Leaders in Communities) and funding for Puāwai has been provided by the Todd Foundation, JR McKenzie Trust, and the Wayne Francis Trust.
