Keep Te Kāhui Flying

Te Kahui Creative Writing is a by-rangatahi-for-rangatahi kaupapa that equips the next generation of Aotearoa’s storytellers with the skills, space and support to realise their creative voice. Currently, it is the only Arts in Corrections program offered across the country that aims explicitly to work with rangatahi in adult Corrections facilities. 

Te Kāhui has not been immune to the increased precariousness of creative sector funding that continues to grind down not-for-profit organisations across this government’s term. While we have all taken pay cuts and scaled down our programming to mitigate the impact of this funding climate on our kaupapa, we need community support to do justice for the work we do for rangatahi in Corrections.
