Ngā Kaihoe
Ngā Kaihoe is a kaupapa-driven community of practice where Māori youth development champions navigate and uphold the mana of all rangatahi that they support. Joining Ngā Kaihoe is an opportunity for youth workers to connect, grow, and lead alongside other kaimahi Māori.
Ngā Kaihoe was specifically designed to ensure that Te Tiriti o Waitangi was integral to the running of the Peak Body of Youth Development in Aotearoa. It is important that Māori kaimahi see themselves reflected at every level of the organisation and sector.

Each quarter, Ngā Kaihoe shares a pānui that celebrates and reflects on our mahi. This information is shared to keep our whanau informed, inspired, and connected to the kaupapa. These pānui highlight the collective progress of Māori kaimahi and the Ngā Kaihoe network, aligning our stories with the wider movement of te iwi Māori and the rhythms that impact our reality.

Introducing Our Tohu
The refreshed tohu and brand, developed in partnership with Taputapu Design, is inspired by the waka taurapa, the sternpost
of a waka that provides balance, direction and identity.
As the taurapa steadies the waka, the Ngā Kaihoe tohu represents cultural anchoring and leadership within the youth development sector.
“Ngā Kaihoe doesn’t exist all by itself, it’s part of a much bigger vision for how we would commit to te Tiriti inside this organisation.”
Prof. Elizabeth Kerekere
