YouthPrograms:Empowering the Next Generation
At Voice of Aroha, we believe that young people are the heart of positive change. Our Youth Programs are designed to empower the next generation of leaders by nurturing their potential through leadership development, creative expression, and skill-building.
Through a range of interactive workshops, hands-on projects, and storytelling platforms, young people from refugee, migrant, and diverse backgrounds play an active role in our core mahi (work). They lead podcasts, co-design community initiatives, and contribute fresh ideas that shape the impact we create.
By providing the tools, confidence, and platforms they need to thrive, we are fostering a new generation of confident, capable, and compassionate leaders young changemakers who reflect the rich diversity of Aotearoa and are ready to create a more inclusive and sustainable future.
