Te Karanga Creative Community

Te Karanga Charitable Trust has worked in the field of youth development since 2006. Our Kaupapa is to embrace multiculturalism as the emerging face of Aotearoa. We work with youth at-risk and young adults, facilitating strength-based programs in a wide range of mediums such as discussion groups, vocational education, career pathway support and one on one mentoring. 

 Through our platform & creative community workshops, we teach a range of creative skills, music and arts, as well as hands on skills such as traditional musical instrument making, business management and entrepreneurship. 

 We use these mediums as a means to facilitate youth to work together as a group, and to develop a sense of community and belonging, as well as to gain understanding of each other’s cultures. All the skills we teach lead towards a possible vocation; or to further career pathways and education.
