For many talented rangatahi in The West, university can feel out of reach. Financial pressure, limited family experience with tertiary study, and a lack of professional networks all get in the way of potential.
First Foundation has spent 27 years changing that. Their four-year programme wraps mentoring, workplace exposure, professional networks and pastoral care around students who are often the first in their family to attend university.. More than 100 young West Aucklanders from schools including Kelston Boys' High School, Kelston Girls' College, Green Bay High School , Lynfield College and Massey High School have been supported to date.
As a community-owned trust, we reinvest our surplus back into The West. We're proud to see $20,000 from the Your West Support Fund backing local students to succeed.
When one young person succeeds, an entire whānau can change direction.

A $10,000 Your West Support Fund grant is helping Te Whare Tipu keep its West Auckland growing network thriving. Based at The ReCreators site in Massey, this collective of eight community-growing organisations shares seedlings, skills and support with whānau, schools and community gardens right across The West.
The funding covers the behind-the-scenes essentials like rent, water, irrigation and volunteer support, so thousands of seedlings can keep making their way into local hands. Right now winter favourites like spinach, lettuce and spring onions are flourishing.
Want to get involved? Drop into 135 Chamberlain Road on Friday mornings to join Ellen for a community gardening session.
