Our Rangatahi
InZone is currently home away from home to 55 Rangatahi: 36 tamatāne at Te Kāinga Wānanga and 19 kōhine at Te Kāinga Huarahi.
Most of our Rangatahi come from Northland and South Auckland, with others from further afield, including Coromandel, Great Barrier Island and Gisborne. Many come from low socio-economic communities and receive financial assistance from the Ministry of Education or other sources.
