Overview
Kia ora koutou!
Ōpōtiki Rangatahi Pā is a kaupapa Māori youth organisation focussed on developing cool programmes and activities for our tamariki and rangatahi.
CraftyVibes is one of our first and most frequented programmes - but we need more support to make our project bigger and better.
CraftyVibes grew from a simple idea - give young people a relaxed space to create, kōrero, and try new things. What started as a small craft break at lunchtime in Ōpōtiki College quickly became one of our most loved programmes afterschool in our community, with tamariki and rangatahi showing up every week excited to make, learn, and spend time together.
We believe creativity is powerful. When rangatahi are given the tools and encouragement to create, they discover confidence, identity, and connection.
CraftyVibes sits alongside our other youth initiatives including sports programmes, upcoming theatre and performance opportunities, and Horizons Press -- our rangatahi-led creative storytelling and publishing project.
Together these programmes give young people different ways to express themselves, discover their strengths, and build a sense of belonging.
