Project 180. Its for the rangatahi and run by our rangatahi.
It's an initiative to facilitate leadership and independence in our young people.

It's an initiative to facilitate leadership and independence in our young people.
It is also a safe place for our rangatahi to hang out and be with their peers (ages 12 to 18) in a safe environment.
The aim of Project 180 is much more than just feeding and entertaining our youths.
ITS ABOUT CHALLENGING THEM, EMPOWERING THEM AND INSPIRING THEM.
Haha, there you go I've just stumbled into the core values of Project 180. CHALLENGE, EMPOWER, INSPIRE.
Please help us by spreading the word in the community.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.
