About us
Māori and Pasifika young people from migrant backgrounds often navigate multiple cultures, which can create challenges in forming connections and feeling a sense of belonging.
We believe lasting change starts by helping young people to embrace their cultural identity. Pasifika cultures, while diverse, are rooted in shared values that strengthen communities and include: family, service, respect, reciprocity, and resilience.
Le Mana Pasifika strengthens Māori and Pasifika young people in Victoria, enabling them to recognise their worth and the unique value they bring to communities.
At Le Mana Pasifika, we make it easy to connect with us through our online Referral Form.
Whether you’re a school looking for programs, an organisation seeking cultural training, ‘whānau’ (extended family) referring a young person, or someone needing cultural support, Le Mana is here for you.
Fill out the form, and we’ll work with you to get the right support!
