One of the biggest obstacles facing our young people today is access to meaningful employment opportunities. For many, the challenge of getting a break and a chance to build a sustainable career is as big and as daunting as climbing Mount Everest!

So, in recognition of the challenges many rangatahi face, we'll be tackling the distance between base camp to the peak of Everest, which is a total of 20km.

Funds raised will allow Talent RISE to deliver work readiness programs and workshops, deliver coaching and mentoring support, cover travel costs for our young people to attend interviews or work opportunities, the costs of suitable work clothing and much more.

Every donation makes a difference with as little as NZ$20 helping support a young person on their journey to meaningful employment.
