Rangatahi Leadership
Connecting people with opportinities for a better Aotearoa New Zealand
The Hawea Vercoe Leadership Programme was the rangatahi engagement arm of the Moko Foundation and focuses on empowering rangatahi to explore opportunities to build a better Aotearoa New Zealand.
Hawea Vercoe Leadership Programme
The Hawea Vercoe Leadership Programme was established in as a tribute to the late Hawea Vercoe, former principal of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Rotoiti, father of six, and at the time of his death, was in his first term as Okurei Māori constituency member for the Bay of Plenty Regional Council. Hawea had been described as one of Māoridom’s most promising leaders; a man who did so much for his students and his community; and a politician before his time, changing the way of thinking of people in parliament and around the country. He shared our goal of being part of Māori prospering and helping to build a great country with the work we do.
"He engaged so much of himself, provided so much leadership, mentored youth. He would take a young person who wasn't confident and inject in them the belief that they were someone special"

⚓️ From the classroom to the Navy fitness centre! Karanga mai Te Taua Moana 🌊
🫡 Our rangatahi explored what mahi in the Navy might look like – fitness, leadership, discipline and comradery were anchors in this visit.
🏃🏽♀️ From beep tests to learning key knots used in the Navy, our rangatahi took the leap and engaged fully in this awesome session.
📍 Every Sunday, we’ve been sharing a new part of the journey on our He Takere Waka Nui Haerenga ki Tāmaki – this is the final post. This is not the end of the kaupapa however, with ongoing kōrero and tautoko being given to our cohort this year in their pathways journeys by our He Takere team!
