Summary
Te Ora Hou Northland Inc. is a non-government, community based organisation that began in 1981 and is affiliated to a national body Te Ora Hou Aotearoa Inc. that has branches throughout New Zealand. The work of Te Ora Hou was a response to common needs identified amongst mainly urban Māori and Pacific whānau for culturally appropriate approaches to holistic youth ministry and community building. The practical outworking of this is weekly after-school youth club programmes run by volunteer youth workers for at-risk young people aged 13 to 17 years of age. These are complimented by small group mentoring relationships, home visits to parents and whānau, holiday programmes, local camps, kapa haka and noho marae. Te Ora Hou also provide individual and whānau support through our social services team including teen dads and a supported residential home for teen parents and delivers education to children aged 0-5 years through its early learning centre, He Kaakano.
