Pūmanawa Āwhina Celebrates Youth Week 2024
Youth Week 2024 was a vibrant celebration in our Pūmanawa Āwhina communities, reflecting the theme,
"We may not have it all together, but together we have it all."
The IPIR in Tāmaki collaborated with WayFynders Youth hosting a youth night event ‘IGNITE THE EAST’. The event featured Dance Fit, Box Fit, Hip Hop classes, Streetball and Volleyball tournaments, an E-Sports stimulator, karaoke, and numerous challenges with exciting spot prizes. The IPIR in the Mid North alongside organisations came together for a Youth Sports Fun day, packed with activities and cool prizes.
We are incredibly proud of the rangatahi involved in planning and leading these events from event planning to emceeing, officiating games, capturing content, and preparing kai.
The success of these events highlights the outcomes of our ‘Igniting Potential in Rangatahi’ Programme by developing leaders who have the self-confidence to contribute to their whānau and community, building whanaungatanga, creating intergenerational impact, and contributing to positive career choices.
