About Us
Who is NextWave Future Leaders?
NextWave Future Leaders is a Non-Profit Charitable Trust established to unite passionate volunteers dedicated to consistently supporting and empowering those often overlooked by society.
At NextWave Future Leaders, we are dedicated to shaping the next generation of leaders. We believe that today’s rangatahi are tomorrow’s leaders, and we are committed to giving them the tools they need to succeed.
Our Mission 'Tō Mātou kaupapa'
Our mission centres on uplifting and equipping future leaders — among rangatahi 13 to 17 years of all ethnic backgrounds, specifically our Māori and Pasifika — with the skills, confidence, and cultural grounding they need to thrive and contribute positively to their environments. We aim to nurture their interpersonal growth and leadership potential, offering platforms where they can stand tall in their identity and shine as their authentic selves.
Through our dynamic, culturally rooted programmes, we work tirelessly to improve lives, strengthen connections to whānau and culture, and build a brighter, more resilient future. We believe that by investing in today’s rangatahi — honouring their heritage while igniting their potential — we are shaping the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow.
Our Vision 'Tā Tātou Tirohanga'
At NextWave Future Leaders, our purpose is to grow the next generation of leaders — among rangatahi 13 to 17 years of all ethnic backgrounds, with a special focus on our Māori and Pasifika — by equipping them with essential leadership skills and creating opportunities to contribute positively to their communities and beyond.
We are dedicated to fostering interpersonal growth, cultural pride, self-discovery, and a sense of global citizenship in our youth. Through our transformative, culturally grounded leadership programmes and community service initiatives, we aim to inspire rangatahi to create lasting change, embrace their heritage, and lead with confidence both in Aotearoa and on the world stage.
