Graeme Dingle Foundation Far North

The wellbeing of Aotearoa’s tamariki is at the heart of the Graeme Dingle Foundation. For 25 years the Foundation has been helping young New Zealanders find purpose and direction through our highly effective school based programmes across the country for young people aged 5-18 years old including Kiwi Can, Stars, Career Navigator, Project K, Kiwi Tahi and MYND.

We want every child to know that what they have inside is greater than any obstacle they might face.

We currently deliver Kiwi Can in 11 low decile schools in the Far North with weekly lessons delivered to over 850 tamariki. We also deliver the Career Navigator Nga Ara Whetu programme in 2 low decile high schools.

Our young people develop true self-confidence and real skills for later life through community-focused, positive learning and mentoring programmes. We empower them to find their purpose and direction in life.

Using fun and safe experiential learning through the great outdoors and inspirational classroom leaders and world-class mentors we help our young people keep on track, learn good values and set goals for the future.
