A mentoring programme for high school students

A transformative program designed to empower students across New Zealand. Our name, “Tupu’anga,” is derived from the Tongan language, where “Tupu” means “to grow” and “Anga” refers to “character” and “customs.” This unique word encapsulates the core values and objectives of our program: growth, character development, cultural identity, personal transformation, and community support.
