Mangopare is a programme designed to Identify Rangatahi most at risk of long-term unemployment that may also have complex whānau living environments that will need a holistic whānau centric approach to overall well being and success.

The approach is based around total Hauora which connects Rangatahi to their sense of identity, cultural awareness, focussed on the pou of Hinengaro, Wairua, Tinana and Whānau as we know in a Māori worldview these areas of total health and well being can not be separated when dealing with our whānau.
Offering the opportunity to take Rangatahi on mindset changing experiences that will allow them to develop basic life skills for long term success such as Marae Noho, connection to the Moana and Ngahere away from social media and external distractions.
Mangōpare was created from a simple belief: our rangatahi have immense potential, and with the right people walking alongside them, they can create very different futures.
This independent Impact Report, prepared by the Centre for Social Impact, captures the journey of Mangōpare across six cohorts. It brings together the voices of rangatahi, whānau, kaimahi and partners, alongside programme data and stories of change.
The report shows that the impact goes well beyond getting a job or entering training. It is about rebuilding trust, restoring mana, strengthening identity and belonging, meeting basic needs, and helping rangatahi begin to see possibilities for their future.
