Atarau Hamilton-Fuller (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngaa Rauru, Ngāti Raukawa) has experience in all spaces developing youth, community, and leadership..

He now leans his skills and experiences into his passion for people. He loves working to
strengthen Indigenous rangatahi through identity. This is clear in everything he does. His involvement in the community currently looks like supporting a kaupapa maori organisation to build capacity and capability of whānau to retain their tamariki and provide better solutions driven from grassroots. His mahi in the Canterbury region started during the 2020 & 2023 General Election and now continues to engage the community with his work in Ōtautahi and across the motu.

He also is involved in Te Whāriki which focuses on the power of systems change and intersectionality. Ata is also a consultant in the Leadership Lab Cultural capability in Aotearoa kura project where he works with teachers to develop their competence and confidence in culturally sustaining practices, including Te Tiriti
