Words from your Coordinator
Kia Ora I’m Charlie and the Coordinator for Kirikiriroa.
Hamilton has been home for my family for the past 5 years, but I grew up in Auckland and have lived across Aotearoa and have also spent some years overseas, living working and exploring this amazing world we live in. I have a performing arts degree, and love dance and musical theatre, both a performer and choreographer.
I preciously worked in Radio, as an on air host but also in promotions where I learned all about creating and running events.
I love that Raise Up is youth led, and we can give that opportunity for Rangatahi to take the lead and gain experience in a range of areas within events but also within the community. Each crew member brings their own life experience, personality and uniqueness to Raise Up which is what makes these crews so special. And there’s a lot of youth in Hamilton who would benefit from coming to the events that the crew put on.
So I encourage all Rangatahi to apply and come see just what Raise Up is all about, bring your uniqueness, and take away skills they can take into workplaces and their adult lives.
We look forward to growing the Hamilton Crew and see just what the youth of Hamilton have to offer.
