At the beginning of 2020, the Moko Foundation will host several Introduction Hui to inform, inspire and motivate the community to engage with the foundation on rangatahi leadership and leadership development. This is an opportunity for the Mentees and Mentors (from the mentoring programme) to meet and set their strategic plan, for families and parents to seek clarity of participating and for interested schools, local councils, organizations and companies to witness the localised approach of developing the Moko Foundation.

This is an opportunity for all partners, mentors, families and rangatahi to come together and celebrate their achievements with the Moko Foundation, this will also provide a platform to celebrate our mentees on the mentoring programme.
