Te Ariroa Evolutions is a grassroots charitable trust based in Ōpōtiki, committed to uplifting rangatahi and whānau through creative workshops, youth-led events, mentoring, and wraparound support. 

We offer safe, empowering spaces like AfterSchool Vibes, Ōpōtiki Kickbacks evenings, and rangatahi-led wānanga with Ōpōtiki Horizons Press that help our young people build skills, confidence, and a strong sense of identity. At the heart of our mahi is the belief that every person has untapped potential — and with the right guidance, they can break cycles, dream bigger, and thrive.

Ōpōtiki deserves more than just survival. Our tamariki and rangatahi deserve spaces that nurture their spirit, culture, and imagination. By supporting Te Ariroa Evolutions, you’re not just donating to a programme — you’re investing in real, long-term change for our community. You’re helping us keep the lights on in the cottage, fill the shelves with craft supplies, put kai on the table, and create a future where our young people are seen, heard, and backed every step of the way.

We can't do this alone — but with your support, we won’t have to. Donate, partner, or volunteer today. Be part of the Ōpōtiki Rangatahi Pā movement. Help us build the future our rangatahi deserve.
