VOYCE Tamariki Magazine Launch

After 2021 survey results showed that the rangatahi and kaimahi involved with VOYCE believed that we could provide more for tamariki in care, and noticing that as an organization, we wanted to reach tamariki who were aged under 12, and so unlikely to benefit from our social media platforms, we decided to create the VOYCE […]

Promise Three: Learning

Education as a gateway to dreams, rangatahi are supported to achieve aspirations.

Promise One: Care

Every tamaiti receives nurturing, protection, and provision, as any good parent would offer.

Promise Five: Voice

Tamariki and rangatahi are involved in decisions that affect them, and their voices are honoured.

Promise Four: Wellbeing

Timely, accessible, and culturally conscious health and mental health services are available to all taiohi.

Promise Two: Stability

Young people in care experience consistency, safety, and a sense of belonging.
