who is TTT Inc?
who is TTT Inc?
Tūranga Taiohi Taiea Incorporated is a long-running, but newly formalised, youth development movement that has gained real momentum within the last 5 years. Lead by the passionate aspirations of one solo Mum, she is now joined by a collective of highly skilled parents who also share the same desire to impart their skill-sets while seeking, developing and/or creating opportunities for our local rangatahi. Their collective intent is to share mindsets, resources, and networks that will help rangatahi build resilience, develop an impeccable work ethic, and demonstrate dedication and commitment while learning how to apply these skill sets to all areas of their lives. Rangatahi will be encouraged to embrace the pursuit and to accept the challenges that hard work and hands-on experience afford you.
All rangatahi, are accepted, mentored, resourced and encouraged to proudly celebrate real, tangible success and to stand tall as
'Outstanding Youth of Tūranganui-a-Kiwa'!

our purpose
our purpose
To share the collective skills-sets handed down by our tipuna, through like-minded, passionate parents, caregivers, and whānau who seek to create, develop, and/or implement initiatives and opportunities that will instil, and build the resilience, tenacity, confidence, and self-worth required to hold our rangatahi steadfast in the knowledge that their presence within their whanau, hapu, iwi and within our wider community is of high importance, and is paramount to their physical, mental and emotional health, and to the health of their whānau.

TIME...the most precious taonga you could give a child.
The Inaugural Kōmiti Whakahaere (Executive Committee) for Tūranga Taiohi Taiea Incorporated is honoured to be the founding members of a movement that is selfless in intent and in integrity.
Tūranganui-a-Kiwa is renowned for its depth of sporting, artistic and academic talent, however our geographical, and in some areas of our community, the sociological isolation logistically, and economically excludes fair and equal opportunity from reaching all rangatahi within our rohe.
We are a passionate parental collective, who intend to address this discrepancy with drive, passion, and open hearts. We, together with all members hereby commit our most valuable commodity to the tamariki, rangatahi, and the whānau that we service - our time.

Our two 'MAIHI' are;
MAIHI TUATAHI: Whakawhanake | Development, and
MAIHI TUARUA: Pa-Harakeke | Multigenerational Education
Ngā Pou Tuarima. The 5 Pou of Te Whare Tapa Whā represent the five personal takiwā( areas) that all rangatahi will be encouraged to identify, nurture, development, care for and grow.
Te Tihi-o-Manono | The Citadel. Is the name of our Poutama that has been designed to provide a visual guide for our rangatahi to use to guide them, and their commitment, their work ethic, their focus, and their pursuit to achieve all of their respective goals.

Physical Fitness and Basketball Development.
GIZZY HOOPS|MAI RĀWHITI POITŪKOHU is our inaugural or founding sporting code that TTT Inc. has chosen to use as the vehicle to TRAIN, GUIDE, MENTOR & TEACH tamariki and rangatahi the CORE FUNDAMENTALS required to become a well-rounded, focussed, respectful sports person. They are also taught how they can apply the same skill sets to ALL other areas of their lives, to become helpful, kind, loving and proud contributing members of society.
H20 WORX is a programme developed by Koka Peips that provides all registered tamariki, rangatahi, and their whānau ('Registered TTT Inc Affiliated Members') with the following skill-sets;
Health, Safety & Well-being. Will be shared with all members through the shared skill of identifying dangerous conditions, what are the absolutes that must be followed at all times when around any open or enclosed bodies of water, and how incredibly important it is to ensure a responsible adult is present at ALL times.
Physical Fitness. Endurance, stamina and cardiovascular conditioning is provided through the additional component of a physical fitness programme that is built into a water safety programme that shares the skill of identifying and navigating different types of water.
To access these programmes and to access these programmes for your tamaiti, tamariki or your rangatahi. CLICK HERE! Mauri Ora Whanau!
