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"

Before we sign off for the year we want to introduce an exciting project we have coming up in 2025.
We are partnering with ESR, Te Niwha & Otago University to carry out a research study that tracts how infectious diseases such as Meningitis & Pneumonia spread among whānau & households in Te Tai Tokerau.
This study aims to provide insight on how we can prevent these deadly diseases that affect whānau.
Keep an eye out in the new year for our information sessions, & Whānau evenings to discuss more about the study & how you can be a part of it.
