mana wahine

START Taranaki now cater for Wahine with our Mana Wahine programme funded by the Toi Foundation.

Our tailor-made programmes are for at risk wahine from the Taranaki community and cater and offer a range of mentoring options. We have the capacity to mentor each group for up to a year to ensure we provide as much wraparound support as possible.

We have two isolation intakes per year (January and June) where our entire staff base take the wahine out to our Rabbit Point shelter where we spend time in nature learning new skills and being a part of new and challenging experiences.

We have a passionate and driven team in the early intervention space who are dedicated to providing the best experience for all rangatahi engaged with START Taranki.
