Te Kāhui Kura Māori Membership - Expression of Interest

Te Kāhui Kura Māori (TKKM) is the Māori navigational group of Recreation Aotearoa. Established in 2019, TKKM plays a vital role in guiding the organisation’s commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and advancing the kaupapa of Recreation Aotearoa’s bicultural strategy, Te Whai Oranga.

We are seeking new members to join our rōpū who bring mātauranga, strong regional and sector connections, and a shared commitment to enhancing recreation as a foundation for wellbeing across Aotearoa.

This form allows you to express your interest in becoming part of this kaupapa. If you prefer, you may also make an oral or video submission instead of, or in addition to, a written application. To do so, please email: Kuruho@nzrecreation.org.nz to arrange a time or send through your recording using WeTransfer or email.
