Anamata Motuhake
Youth Entrepreneurship Programmes
Turn your curiosity into something real.
Anamata Motuhake is a free programme for Rangatahi aged 15–24 who want to explore what's possible for their future. Whether you have a business idea, a creative project, a passion for food, or just want to see what you're capable of, we have a pathway for you.
Our programmes are hands-on and youth-led. You'll develop real skills, build confidence, and connect with industry experts. At the end of most programmes, you'll have the opportunity to pitch your idea to a panel of experts for feedback and potential funding. It's about more than just starting a business; it's about discovering what you can do.
All programmes are free. Kai is provided on Thursday drop ins. You just need to show up and give it a go.
