Our People | A Better Tomorrow
Who are we?
Koru Services is a kaupapa-driven organisation working at the intersection of business innovation and social impact. Rooted in Te Tai Tokerau, we support real people to lead phenomenal lives — bringing together lived experience, cultural integrity, and professional excellence.
Tailored Service
Tailored service delivery: We use the Te Pae Tawhiti model to provide individualised coaching and progression plans, supported by kaupapa Māori frameworks, Maramataka-based planning, and strength-based tools.
Connecting
Proven youth engagement expertise: Our team has extensive experience in connecting with hard-to-reach rangatahi, especially those facing complex social, educational, or behavioural challenges.
Partnerships
Established partnerships: We have trusted working relationships with schools, whānau, hapū, social providers, and regional leadership in Te Tai Tokerau. This allows us to support seamless wraparound engagement and referrals.
Operational
Operational and reporting capability: With a strong backbone in business services, Koru Services brings robust systems for tracking, accountability, and communication. We are agile, transparent, and responsive to contract expectations and whānau needs.
Why Koru?
We're Positioned to Deliver
Koru Services is grounded in manaakitanga, tika me pono, and authenticity — values that directly inform how we serve. Our deep understanding of both system demands and community realities allows us to navigate complex spaces with care and clarity.
