Active Recreation for Rangatahi Plan

Commitments and actions
Titikaha
Increase internal and external awareness and understanding of great practice in active recreation for rangatahi.

This commitment is helping us bring to life the Mana Taiohi principles of Te Ao and Manaakitanga as we help others better understand how to create safe, empowering, and mana-enhancing experiences for rangatahi which help them better navigate their worlds. 

“I’ve been challenged to think about how my mahi is growing the mana of the young people and others we work with.  I have a desire to keep learning…”
