Te Ao ō Tamaaki Nui

Te Ao ō Tamaaki Nui empowers South Auckland youth through free creative workshops. Help us build a permanent hub where rangatahi can learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, inspiring space.

Kia Ora, My name is Mary McLeod and I am one of the founding members/CEO/Chairman for our youth workshop called Te Ao ō Tamaaki Nui-Building bridges for our youths.

Te Ao ō Tamaaki Nui is a whānau led kaupapa based in South Auckland, grounded in aroha, creativity, and lived experience. We run free, hands on workshops in barbering, apparel printing, beautician skills, spoken music, and life coaching for rangatahi aged 14-18yrs old.

We're currently crowdfunding to secure a permanent space for our mahi, a safe, inspiring hub where youth can grow, create, and build real world skills.

By supporting us, you’re helping build a legacy of empowerment for rangatahi in Auckland. In return, you’ll receive shoutouts, exclusive invites, and meaningful updates on the journey you’re helping shape.

Let’s build this together.
