In April 2018, Massey University’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences  https://bit.ly/2y0vNJU launched its year-long sponsorship of the Future Leaders https://www.inspiringstories.org.nz/future-leaders/  programme with a National Hui on its Manawatu campus, hosting 100 young people who travelled from many of New Zealand's rural and provincial communities to build better communities.  For many, it was their first time on a university campus as they gathered for a weekend of workshops and a look at student life. From isolation to unemployment, mental health and wellbeing – these are major challenges they each face in their communities.
 
Run by NZ charitable trust Inspiring Stories  https://www.inspiringstories.org.nz/ Future Leaders connects and supports more than 250 young people in rural and provincial communities. Throughout the year they explore socio-economic issues that affect their future, receive mentoring and training to build their entrepreneurial and leadership capability, and work in small teams to apply their learning on local projects to make a difference in their backyard.
 
Future Leaders is running across eight communities – Greymouth, Kapiti, Opotiki, Kawerau, Whakatane, Palmertson North, Whangarei and Kaikohe. Thanks to generous support, the programme is fully free for young people to participate, and also includes support for them to attend Festival For The Future https://bit.ly/2IPXJGl in Wellington (July 27–29, 2018). 

The programme is supported by partners Massey University, the Mayor's Taskforce for Jobs, Microsoft, Ministry of Youth Development, Tindall Foundation, Todd Foundation, Lion Foundation, Foundation North, Bay Trust, and local Councils.

“We’re backing these future leaders from rural and provincial New Zealand to build their social entrepreneurship and leadership capability, and their ideas to make a difference,” says College Pro Vice-Chancellor Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley.
 
“Past participants have gone on to significantly improve their capability and confidence, be better prepared for the future, explore meaningful career opportunities and do good things for their communities,” he says.
