The Tuia programme is a long-term intergenerational approach to develop the leadership capacity of young Māori in communities throughout New Zealand.
Set up by the Mayors Taskforce For Jobs (MTFJ) in the late 2000s, the programme involves local mayors selecting up to two rangatahi from their district to mentor on a one-to-one basis, to encourage and enhance leadership skills.
“I think there’s not enough rangatahi in these positions where decisions are being made for our iwi," says Luke Moss, new Maniapoto iwi board member.
