WHAKAMANAHIA TE RANGATAHI

WTR 2025 APPLICATIONS CLOSED

Whakamanahia Te Rangatahi (WTR) is an annual youth mentoring programme designed to empower rangatahi by fostering a strong sense of identity, language, and culture. Through a carefully curated series of wānanga, workshops, and hands-on experiences, participants develop essential leadership, communication, and creative skills that contribute to their personal growth and future success.

 

Since its inception, WTR has had a profound impact on its participants, many of whom have gone on to take on leadership roles within their communities, pursue tertiary education, and secure meaningful employment in the arts and cultural sectors.

 
We want to thank all rangatahi who have applied for WTR 2025. This year we received 63 applications, our biggest cohort yet.  If you have any questions about the programme, or want to apply for 2026, please email anjelina@miharo.org

"By rangatahi, for rangatahi.''

WHAT WE DO

Whakamanahia Te Rangatahi is the Miharo annual Youth Mentoring programme, aimed at supporting Māori and Pasifika rangatahi in Years 11-13 to build their identity, language, and culture.


Rangatahi take part in workshops, wānanga and events focused on arts, culture and skill building, with the goal of becoming future leaders at Mīharo programmes and events. Our rangatahi start the programme in March with a wānanga at a local marae, before taking part in a variety of events throughout the year, including the annual Murihiku Polyfest.
