Te Ariroa Evolutions

Fiscal Host: Gift Collective

Creating a dedicated space that empowers and supports the youth of Opotiki.

About


 
Te Ariroa Evolutions is a vibrant non-profit organisation based in the heart of Ōpōtiki, committed to empowering our community, especially our tamariki (children) and rangatahi (youth). We believe in the potential within every individual and strive to provide the tools, skills, and support needed to help them flourish.

Our mission is to break the cycle of inter-generational challenges through creative workshops, educational programs, and community activities that promote self-discovery, growth, and resilience. We offer safe and inclusive spaces where participants can explore their talents, build confidence, and connect with others.

But we don’t do this work alone. We are passionate about collaborating with the incredible organisations in Ōpōtiki who are already doing amazing mahi (work). By working alongside these groups, we aim to amplify our collective impact and create a more connected and supportive community.

We also recognise the invaluable contributions of our volunteers, and we are dedicated to securing funding that supports their efforts. By investing in our volunteers, we ensure that our community-driven initiatives continue to thrive and evolve.

When you support Te Ariroa Evolutions, you’re not just funding activities—you’re investing in the future of Ōpōtiki. Your contribution helps us sustain our work, expand our reach, and provide opportunities that benefit both our community and the volunteers who make it all possible. Join us in creating lasting change, one workshop at a time.
