Our programme is centred on rangatahi: their strengths, interests, culture and aspirations.

Being based at the marae gives rangatahi a unique opportunity to connect with who they are.
They may take part in:
- Pōwhiri
- Helping prepare kai
- Spending time with kaumātua
- Learning about tikanga
- Connecting with the wider marae whānau

Through a mix of activities, rangatahi are encouraged to try new things, develop positive skills and work towards their individual goals.

Walking alongside rangatahi
We take the time to get to know each rangatahi and understand what is important to them. Our experienced kaimahi walk alongside them, providing encouragement, guidance and support throughout their time with us.
Te Kaika Whakaaroaro is about creating positive experiences, building connections, and supporting rangatahi to see their potential and take steps towards a positive future.
Referrals to the programme are made directly through Oranga Tamariki.
