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.
Our Champions are a diverse group of high school and tertiary students from across Aotearoa, each with a unique story.
Explore their journeys and see how they’re making a difference!

From keynotes to sensory-friendly setups, we tailor our offerings to suit your needs.
