Words from your Coordinator
Kia ora!
Malo e lelei! My name is Maria and I am the Onehunga/Massey Coordinator!
I was born and raised in Central Auckland here in Aotearoa. I had a university placement with Raise Up, as youth work has always been a passion of mine, I studied and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Majoring in Social Sciences, and learning about the community sector drove my passion for youth work. I am of Tongan descent, and I love music, food and funny memes! Being Apart of raise Up is an honour, as I am grateful to witness our Rangatahi thrive and grow!
Raise Up Onehunga is where rangatahi rise!

"“The best thing Raise Up did for me was turn me from a follower into a leader. At meetings and events, if there are issues that need to be solved I jump in and fix them rather than stand back and let other people do it.” "
