Hii! I’m Rachel (She/her)

I’m a year 13 student at Rangitoto College and I’ve been a member of Younite since early 2024! A little bit about me, I’m super passionate about empowering youth and creating positive impact in the local community and I’m a huge swiftie! I’m so excited to work with the team and alongside Laura as Chairs for 2025 and I can’t wait for the awesome journey that awaits! “Are you ready for it…” -Taylor Swift.

Kia ora, I’m Laura ( she/her )

I’m currently a year 12 student at Westlake Girls high school, and am beyond excited to be serving as one of Younite’s chairs for 2025, alongside Rachel. I have been a member of this board since late 2023, and have lived in the Takapuna-Devonport area for most of my life. I’m also an absolute bookworm and love hanging out with friends & family. This year, I am extremely excited to meet the new people joining Younite, and to work in collaboration with them to empower rangatahi in our lovely community!

I'm Hamish

I'm a Year 12 student at Westlake Boys High School with a strong passion for Biology and Art History, among others. My time is heavily occupied as a debater, trumpet player, chorister, volunteer, newspaper editor-in-chief, and often find myself always curious to do more. I started my journey as a School Leader and volunteer, tutor, academic council member, and coach, and look forward to furthering the change we can make this year.
