Taku Wairua is a personal development programme built around four pillars of wellbeing: Belonging & Identity, Self Discovery, Goal Setting, and Citizenship.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every rangatahi lives with purpose and realises their full potential. Through our Kura and Tupu programmes, we create empowering journeys grounded in belonging, self-awareness, goal setting, and citizenship.

We believe in the strength that comes from knowing who you are and where you come from. By supporting rangatahi to stand tall in their identity, dream boldly, and give back to their communities, we help shape confident young leaders who are proud of their journey and ready to uplift others.
