Turning hope into pathways
for all rangatahi
We walk alongside young people, whānau and communities to make pathways to opportunity, capability, ownership and prosperity more visible and accessible.
Our Pillars
HOLISTIC WELLBEING
We support rangatahi to build wellbeing in every dimension - physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and relationally.
GENERATIONAL WEALTH
We increase visibility and access to pathways that build capability, assets, ownership and long-term prosperity for the next generation.
YOUTH LEADERSHIP
We empower youth leadership and youth voice through youth-led initiatives and mentoring. We believe leadership compounds in community impact
VILLAGE BUILDERS
We build community, networks and ecosystems where rangatahi and whānau belong, contribute and thrive together.

What our community says
Manurewa High School has been privileged to partner, collaborate and work with WhatHope for over 7 Years now. They are an amazing community youth organisation who have real aroha for our rangatahi. We endorse their Wayfinder programme, supporting young people to find positive pathways beyond school and teaching them how to manage their finances in an aspirational way to support our shared goal to create generational wealth for the community of Manurewa.
