Our Partners
Whenua Iti Outdoors is a community focused organisation that works closely with many other organisations and individuals to facilitate positive change.
This collaborative approach includes partners, funders, supporters and others in the community who provide essential and highly valued support for our programmes and organisation.
Featured Partner: Ihi Aotearoa | Sport New Zealand
We love working together with Sport NZ to achieve postive, active outcomes for young people in our region.
“Sport NZ Ihi Aotearoa have been partnering with Whenua Iti Outdoors for a number of years now. The diversity of the programmes we have supported speaks volumes to the incredible mahi the team does. Their work to support young women in the outdoors, inclusion of disabled young people, their focus on rangatahi Māori and Te Ao Māori align so well with our strategic priorities. The team at WIO are professional and passionate people who care deeply about their role in supporting tamariki, rangatahi and whānau to care for, and experience the wellbeing benefits, of the outdoors”.

"Whenua Iti has a close relationship with community organisations, schools and the industry. This has enabled the organisation to carry out comprehensive needs analyses to ensure the courses are designed to meet stakeholders’ needs. A reflective culture is embedded into the review processes to ensure courses continue to meet needs."
