Interweaving Past, Present and Future: A dedicated day for Pasifika youth workers and practitioners to connect, be empowered and be equipped with skills and knowledge to support their day-to-day work.

Pou Pasifika is the new national network co-designed by and for Pasifika youth workers. We are championing Pasifika youth development workers and practitioners in Aotearoa. Grounded in our cultural knowledge and practices, we know that when our youth workers are valued and supported, the young people they work with thrive. This initiative affirms our identity and the unique way we serve our communities.
We are excited to host our INAUGURAL ONE-DAY SEMINAR, dedicated to Pasifika youth workers and practitioners in the Auckland region. It’s an opportunity to connect with other Pasifika youth workers in the sector, access professional development to enhance best practice while using our Te Ao Pasifika way to celebrate and honour one another.
