Word from your Coordinator

My name is Keeva and I am the coordinator of the Massey crew!


A little bit about me: I am Irish and if you know the Ed Sheeran song Galway girl, I’m from Galway!! My background is in youth and social circus but I also have a degree in biochemistry. In my free time I enjoy destroying my opponents in board games, tightwire walking for fun and playing badminton. The past couple of years I’ve been based in Ireland and worked with various youth circus schools across Europe as well as setting up a youth leadership group made up of young people from youth circuses across Europe. Now that I am in New Zealand I am excited to be given the opportunity through Raise Up to continue working in a field I am really passionate about.

Kimm is part of the Raise Up crew at Massey Leisure Centre managed by YMCA. The Raise Up crew is made up of teenagers who volunteer their time to help organise and run events. When she was asked to help out at an important YMCA annual awards night, she was more than happy to help.

"Confidence is a big thing I’ve got from Raise Up, along with developing social communication. I’ve been with Raise Up for five years as it’s really helped me be present in the community … and talk to people in both formal and informal environments."
