Te Whāriki

Te Whāriki is a twelve month internship experience based on mentoring, project experience, networking and facilitating activation initiatives. Its purpose is to “Activate the intersections of identity to lead systems change”

In 2023/24 it involved ten existing intersectional young leaders who have experienced discrimination and marginalisation. In the 2024/2025 a new 10 leaders have joined the programme and the 2023/24 Te Whāriki members have created their own ongoing Intersectionality Community of Practice

Te Whāriki project is one of the three ngā kaikōkiri hubs in the Intersectionality and System change project – JR McKenzie across Aotearoa. The project is in its second year and provides strong connection to Leadership Lab’s commitment to giving effect to the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our emphasis on our three values – mana ōrite, kotahitanga, manaakitanga.

Our Te Whāriki theory of change is;

If we….

  1. People: Invite existing intersectional young leaders who have experienced discrimination and marginalisation.
  2. Project: Develop a 12 month internship experience based on mentoring, project experience, networking and facilitating activation initiatives
  3. Impact: Activate the intersections of identity to lead systems change
  4. Vision: We contribute to a more equitable society and system through excluded communities being more connected
