A word from your Co-ordinator
Kia Ora e te whānau,
Ko Tukituki te awa Ko Takitimu te waka Ko Kauhehei te maunga Ko Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi Ko Ngai-te-whatu-i-apiti te hapu Ko Pukehou te marae
Ko Vanessa Gillespie toku ingoa (most people call me Ness, and I’m cool with that!)
I am excited to be the Raise Up Co-ordinator for Hawkes Bay! Essentially, I’m here to encourage the voice of young people and offer some guidance, have lots of fun and continue to learn new things with young people and from them too. Raise Up is new to the Bay and all about youth empowerment, so get excited and get amongst it!
You’ll have the opportunity to make new friends, have lots of fun, learn new skills, plan events, and make a positive difference in your community. Hopefully, Raise Up will become a space where you feel welcomed, valued, and heard!
I am a big believer in youth potential, so if you’ve got something to say or you want an opportunity to do some cool things, come and check out what we have to offer. Journey with me and the Y!!
Ngā mihi mahana,
