Who we are

The 502 Rangatahi Ora - The first Iwi Maori led Rangatahi (youth one stop shop) in Aotearoa NZ proudly operates under the umbrella of Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira.

Based in the vibrant and diverse community of Porirua, we are honored to serve our rangatahi (youth) and their whanau. We are the first Iwi Maori led youth one stop shop in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our commitment embraces a holistic approach that empowers rangatahi and strengthens their connections to whanau and the wider community.

We provide a wide range of services through our skilled and dedicated team of doctors, nurses, counselors, a clinical psychologist, youth workers and amazing administration staff. We ensure a warm and welcoming environment where our team works collaboratively to deliver the comprehensive support our rangatahi exactly when they need it.

Our Vision

Hei Whakamana i te rangatahi!

Empowering young people to achieve their full potential and overcome the challenges of today’s complex world is at the heart of what we do.

We are committed to providing the tools, support, and opportunities they need to build valuable skills, develop confidence, and succeed in their personal and professional lives.

Our holistic approach includes fostering the courage to face fears, building meaningful connections with others, and nurturing a strong sense of fairness and respect in all interactions.

Our Mission

Hei Whakawhanake i te Rangatahi!

We aim to positively impact our community by nurturing the next generation. Guided by Ngati Toa Rangatira, we provide support in health, well-being, and personal growth.

Our goal is to help young people become resilient and connected individuals who enrich their whanau and communities.
