“Bringing big city opportunities to small town rangatahi”

Te Puna Ariki Charitable Trust vision

Purpose:

Te Puna Ariki Charitable Trust is dedicated to serving our communities and creating platforms to bring big city opportunities to small town rangatahi. We aim to empower our whanau, rangatahi and tamariki to change the way they view the world and to help them realise their full potential.

Our Key Kaupapa

  • Rangatahi Leadership Programmes

    Succession of leadership is an important aspect of growing an organisation, community or Iwi. We support rangatahi to grow their skills as leaders and governors

  • Rangatahi Business Start-up Programmes

    We aim to support rangatahi to excel in business and can pair rangatahi with a business mentor and start-up opportunities

  • Community Service

    As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. We are able to connect our rangatahi to their community through service.

  • Rangatahi Sport Development

    We understand that our rangatahi have an enormous amount of potential. At Te Puna Ariki, we aim to remove any barriers that may exist between our rangaahi and their goals.

  • Community Events and Fundraisers

    Serving our community is at the heart of our organisation. As such, we run a number of community events throughout the year. These community events are often targeted toward tamariki, taiohi, rangatahi and whanau.

  • Kaupapa Hou

    If you are a rangatahi that has an amazing idea for a kaupapa, Te Puna Ariki are interested in supporting grassroots kaupapa that align with our uara and vision.

“We are giving life to the aspirations of our tupuna by supporting the resilience, confidence, and development of rangatahi across Aotearoa. We will actively contribute to the restoration of our communities through the wellbeing of rangatahi. We want to build the Aotearoa hou our tupuna sung and dreamed about.”
