OUR PROGRAMMES

At Puna Rangatahi, we have a range of regular programmes for our young people to take part in. These range from well-being groups and one-to-one mentoring to opportunities for young people to experience new and exciting hobbies and activities!

Our programmes are tailored to the needs of each intake of rangatahi in each of our districts!

Our Youth Work is broken up into three dimensions. Check out a breakdown of our programmes below!

Youth Mentoring

Our Youth Mentoring programmes offer supportive, relationship-based mentoring for rangatahi, either one-on-one or in small groups. We create safe spaces where young people feel heard, supported, and encouraged to be themselves.

Through regular mentoring sessions, rangatahi are supported to build confidence, navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop practical life skills — guided by their own goals, needs, and pace.

Youth Programmes and Activities

Our Youth Programmes and Activities are structured, outcome-focused initiatives delivered at different times throughout the year. These programmes follow clear frameworks and goals, providing consistency, routine, and purposeful learning.

Through facilitated sessions and group activities, rangatahi build skills, confidence, and positive connections while working towards meaningful outcomes in a safe and supportive environment.

Drop-Ins

Our Drop-In sessions are relaxed, welcoming spaces where rangatahi can come as they are. These regular gatherings offer opportunities to connect, have fun, and be part of a supportive community without formal structure or pressure.

PREVIOUS INITIATIVES

These are programmes and events we’ve run in the past to support rangatahi development. While they’re no longer running, they’ve contributed to our ongoing learning and the growth of the young people we work with.
