Who is What Hope?

We are a group of volunteers who have a passion to inspire hope in youth.

We run a free community program at the Manurewa Sports Centre in Mountfort Park.  It is from 6pm-8:30pm every Tuesday for ages 12-20.  We seek to engage youth through various activities and outings throughout the year.  We believe every young person needs to know that they are valued and learn that they have value to add to their community.

Our strategy is building long-term relationships with youth and the community. We believe strong communities are built on strong relationships of respect and value for each other. We are Registered Charitable Trust and we also operate a Social Enterprise providing professional audio services for events.  This is part of a sustainable strategy where all profits are invested back into the youth of our community.

We focus on creating a culture of value and belonging. We have faith-based values and ascribe to treating each other as we would like to be treated.  We believe that leading is serving and that each person is worthy of love and connection.
