Active recreation and youth voice are crucial components in fostering healthy development and empowerment among young people. By combining rangatahi voice in the planning, designing and implementation of recreational activities, we can ensure that these initiatives are appealing and relevant to youth.

Sport Otago is a network that connects a wide range of people, organisations, and communities, working behind the scenes to provide opportunities for everyone to be healthy, active, and connected. I have been fortunate enough to help co-design physical activity programs with local community groups and apply for the Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa fund.
