ARA TAIOHI

Ara Taiohi is the peak body for youth development in Aotearoa. We are a national membership based organisation with over 1600 personal and organisational members representing a diverse range of groups and practitioners that work with young people... Since the 1960's there is a rich history of large national youth organisations establishing umbrella organisations as a way to ‘provide a national voice on youth organisation interests'. Ara Taiohi came out of New Zealand Aotearoa Adolescent Health and Development (NZAAHD) and the National Youth Workers Network Aotearoa (NYWNA) coming together to form a new national youth sector organisation. Ara Taiohi was launched at the Involve national youth sector conference in November 2010 and became fully operational at the inaugural AGM in February 2011.
