I enjoy facilitating because it allows me to walk alongside taiohi and their whānau as they explore their potential. Through whakawhanaungatanga, collaborative learning, and mana-affirming practice, we grow together as a whānau.
I have been facilitating Mana Taiohi workshops since 2020 and have loved meeting different people from different spaces who all want to support and uplift rangatahi.
My life's been transformed by the aroha of those who cared, so my purpose in life is to do that for others, especially our younger generations… live to love, love to live.
Kia ora! I am a creative and interactive trainer whose unique skill set translates theory and evidence to strengthen youth development practice and increase impact in your context
I'm incredibly passionate about building the professionalisation, capacity, and credibility of our youth sector and see the understanding of and upskilling in Mana Taiohi and Code of Ethics as a huge part of that.
Zara's Code of Ethics trainings are a perfect collision of her worlds and experience. She loves to bring theory into real-life scenarios and empower youth workers to do what they do best: build quality relationships with young people.
Learning comes out of exploring and reflecting on our experiences together. My approach to facilitation is grounded in my practice as a youth worker and a teacher in alternative education (AE) in Porirua for many years.
