We’re a passionate group of rangatahi, aged 15 to 23, reshaping the conversation around neurodiversity in Aotearoa.
Through advocacy, awareness, and community-building, we’re creating a future where every neurodivergent young person is supported, celebrated, and empowered.
We're looking for our next Young Neurodiversity Champions!
We're looking for neurodivergent rangatahi aged 15–23 from across Aotearoa who want to:

You don't need to be an expert. You don't need to have all the answers. You just need to care about making things better.
Your voice matters. Your perspective matters. You matter.

We know that year 9 can be hard work! New people, new teachers, new classrooms, new subjects, more decisions, and more responsibility.
We've put together a guide for students in year 8 and 9 to help them THRIVE.
Thriving means understanding strengths as well as finding ways around sticking points.
Our Young Neurodiversity Champions have shared their stories and top tips in this guide for students. Teachers can download and share this guide with students.
