What can I get funding for?
We are looking for rangatahi-led programmes which are focused on positive rangatahi development. Your programme could be lots of activities or focused on one activity with rangatahi – you could be doing a mara kai, painting murals or doing a sports programme but the impact you want to have for rangatahi who participate are things like:
- having a stronger sense of belonging
- growing a positive identity of who they are
- feeling more confidence in themselves
- growing in their leadership skills
- building some new skills to help them in life
- or other impact you want for rangatahi to help them in their life journey!
What are we looking for?
- Programmes created by rangatahi for rangatahi
- Programmes which show how the rangatahi you will work with (your participants) will be involved in designing and leading the programme with you (for example, if you are running a programme for 15-16 year olds, how will you involve them in designing the kaupapa and how will you grow their leadership in your kaupapa?)
- Rangatahi in our communities of focus running programmes for their own people (i.e. rangatahi māori running a programme with rangatahi māori)
