Organisation Information 

Change Generation was established in January 2020 with a bigger picture of supporting whanau in every way possible. We saw the issue of government services allowing Whanau to fall through the cracks.


Our Solution to support whanau without the thought of Money or Putea involved in our solutions. Not only assisting with cases but every single aspect of life as a wrap around service.


Our obligation to our whanau that we work with is to ensure that we are not only holding government services to account but also all the way through to Prime Minister to account and ensuring that Whanau are being heard.


In addition we are a non government funded organisation the founder funds all services and resources provided and we intend to stay this way - this has allowed us to have an independent opinion at the same time allowing us to continue to be the best possible version of people that we could potentially be.

  • Employment Search Services
  • Recruitment Services for Businesses
  • Child Welfare Advocacy
  • Whanau Support
  • MSD and Social Welfare Advocacy

  • Youth Services
