Ā mātou mahi
Five pou. One pathway shaped around whānau.
Whānau lives do not fit neatly inside programme boundaries.
Our mahi should not expect them to.
A rangatahi might first meet us through water safety, build confidence through leadership, strengthen digital skills, and move into a supported employment placement. They should experience one connected journey, with people beside them at every stage.

Building carefully before we grow
Each pou is being developed with its own theory of change, outcomes, indicators and evaluation approach, connected to an organisation-wide theory of change.
We are doing this before we scale, not after, so we can say clearly what changed for whānau, how we know, and what we changed when something did not work.
Where things stand
Some mahi is operating now, some is designed and ready, and some remains in development. Every page states its current status plainly.
