Our Groups

Two welcoming spaces for different age groups, meeting weekly with activities that match your interests.

Kea Group

Ages 11–14

A welcoming weekly space for our younger rangatahi (ages 11–14). We get together for art projects, shared kai, park picnics, gardening, board games, and regular workshops with guest speakers.

Thursdays 3:30 – 5:30 pm

Kākāpō Group

Ages 15–18

Our space for older rangatahi (ages 15–18). Each week brings something different — creative projects, games, outdoor adventures, or sitting down with community speakers about topics that matter.

Tuesdays 3:30 – 5:30 pm

What to Expect

Every drop-in session brings something different. Here's what makes our groups special.

Creative Activities

Art, crafts, and creative expression — a chance to explore your artistic side in a supportive environment.

Shared Kai

We share food and build community around the table. Bring your appetite and get to know your whānau!

Guest Speakers

Regular workshops and sessions with community speakers on topics that matter to our rangatahi.
