InsideOUT Kōaro is a national youth charity seeking someone to coordinate our national youth hui, Shift. As this is a project that sits within te ao Māori, we are interested in providing the opportunity to organise Shift to someone who is Māori/takatāpui.

You will be responsible for overseeing the planning and delivery of a national hui for young people aged 15-21, held in-person across four days – April 19th-22nd 2024 and coordinating and delivering an online virtual Shift Hui planned for July.

InsideOUT Kōaro is a growing organisation that works to support youth, whānau, schools, community groups, youth services, government agencies and other relevant organisations to provide safer schools and communities for rainbow young people. Shift is a hui (gathering) for rainbow/takatāpui young people that supports them to make connections, learn about different issues facing rainbow and takatāpui communities, take part in workshops and activities and gain new skills and knowledge to help them make their schools and communities a safer place.

Ideally, the successful applicant will:

    • Have superb organisational and communicational skills (both written and verbal)
    • Be able to stay calm under pressure and quickly solve problems
    • Be self-motivated with strong time-management skills

Hours will build up over this time, with a significant amount of these taking place at the in-person hui (April 19th-22nd). Days and times worked outside of this are negotiable.
