“Ngati Porou Oranga supports the community, whanau and their rangatahi. My best advice to give to those wanting to work in the Youth Services is to be just true to yourself working with whanau in the community. The whanau we work with are quite vulnerable and they will see whether you are being genuine with the mahi you are doing. “
