Jobs at MacStrong

MacStrong was founded in 2014 with a mission to empower Tamariki by equipping them with the tools, resources, and support needed to shape their futures. Over the years, MacStrong has expanded its offerings, providing youth in our communities with opportunities to reach their full potential and explore new aspects of life. Through a variety of activities and pro-social environments, our programs focus on building essential skills, emotional regulation, communication, life skills, and career/trade skills. Our primary goal is to boost young individuals' self-esteem and sense of purpose, which we believe will have a positive ripple effect on their families, cultures, and communities. Our dedicated team of life skills coaches and mentors work closely with at-risk and vulnerable young people, fostering strong relationships and delivering tailored programs, including activities like diving, fishing, and practical skills development. We serve young people aged 6 to 18, often in community settings, and our programs are designed to achieve specific outcomes, such as fostering positive relationships between young people and local law enforcement. While we have a Kaupapa Māori approach, our services are open to all cultures, emphasizing the importance of self-respect, property care, and respect for others through activities like mountain biking, touch tournaments, and fitness. At MacStrong, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of young people, their families, and our communities.
