Ethan's Career Navigator Community Story✨
At the start of 2020, Ethan signed up for the Career Navigator Community programme through Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington.
After meeting different mentors who had such a variety in careers and experience, he knew going back to laboring wasn’t for him. Ethan wanted to do something different and after spending time on the programme, he realised he liked helping young people in the community.
Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort and Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington took the opportunity to hire him. He now helps other young people involved in the Career Navigator Community programme on their career journeys.
“He is one of the best hiring decisions we have made” Jehan Fitisemanu – General Manager, Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
