Taupō

Kia Ora, I’m Reagan, the Programme’s Team Leader for Youthtown Central Regions based in Taupō. I’m an avid sportsman with a passion for travel, having travelled extensively to over 70 countries around the world. I’m excited to be back in Aotearoa to help create positive pathways for our tamariki and rangatahi.

“Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti arahia O tatou mahi” - “Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work.”

Kia ora, I am John and work as a Programme Lead in the Youth, Sports & Outdoors spaces for Youthtown Taupo. I joined Youthtown and wanted to learn about Youth Development and the needs of parents and most importantly what young people wanted to do with their time. I found it rewarding to teach fun simple sports games and build on skills to help young tamariki & rangatahi realise their potential. Help them to take away lessons that would build them into smart and capable young people. My passion is from a sports background and wanting to mentor and develop more people.

KiaOra my name is Harmony and I am the coordinator of our Youth programmes. If I could have any superpower, I would have super strength because who wouldn't want to be the strongest person in the world? I think outside the box and like to encourage everyone who attends our programmes to do the same as well. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor, so challenge yourself to become the best version of yourself!

Hello all, my name is Mereana but everyone calls me Medz, and I'm the coordinator of Waipahihi Taupō. I have always loved the challenge of trying to empower our Taiohi as I follow my own passions of dance, music, beauty, and teaching. Follow your Dreams, Set your Goals and Conquer ?

“Mauria te pono Rangatahi ma” – “Believe in yourselves, Young People.”
