Thank you for your interest in supporting our kaupapa. Our supporters are made up of a wonderfully generous group of businesses, individuals, community groups and whanau. When you support us, you become part of our Tucker whanau. We invite you on board our waka.
Your voyage sponsorship will go towards the costs of a full 7-day youth voyage for 12 trainees. You are able to specify criteria, type of students, area of benefit, or specific school; we will work with teachers, iwi and schools to get the trainees on board.
Your support can change the life of one young person from Northland. You may have someone in mind or you can specify your requirements, area of benefit or the specific school you would like to support. Sponsoring a Trainee is rewarding.
If you are interested in sponsoring a voyage or trainee please contact us.
We have a wonderful whānau of supporters who donate time, money and goods. Donations of all shapes and sizes help our cause. We appreciate all contributions to our kaupapa. Small donations make a big difference! Give a little to support a young person.
We have a loyal group of supporters who sponsor one child or several placements on a voyage each year. These individuals sometimes give per week, or provide an annual sum to the youth training programme. Each sponsor receives information about the trainee they have supported.
“I am very impressed with the way that this has been presented to sponsors. Fantastic to read the feedback from the trainees. The crew clearly does an outstanding job in working with these young people. Well done to you and the team. It is not often that one receives such feedback in respect of Donations made. This makes it all worthwhile from my perspective. I will sign on for another year primarily based on this feedback!!
