Words from your Coordinator
Hey everyone! My name is Alana and I am the Whau/Papatoetoe coordinator! I am originally from Canada, but have called Aotearoa my home for a long time. In my spare time I love the gym, live music, going to the movies, and thrifting. I love being part of Raise Up and getting to work with young people and see them grow.
Raise Up is such an amazing programme for young people. It’s a great way to push yourself out of your comfort zone, plan unique events in the community, meet different types of people, and gain valuable experience for future adventures and opportunities. There’s so many possibilities with Raise Up, it’s all led by you! Don’t hesitate to reach out and get in touch, I’m really keen to meet new people and see some amazing things happen. My email is alana.mcconnell@ymcanorth.org.nz.
