Sponsoring music lessons, arts programs & cultural experiences
How we help
Culture support that opens doors.
Culture and the arts are vital to the development and wellbeing of young people. We provide financial assistance for youth in our community to access music lessons, arts classes, performance opportunities, and cultural programmes that they would otherwise be unable to afford. We believe creative expression builds confidence, resilience, and identity.

The Kowhai Coast Youth Trust has been absolutely fantastic for my daughter – it has enabled her to continue with her piano lessons, which she really loves. When she plays what she has learnt, she just lights up. It is giving her more self confidence which is just wonderful. – Natalie, Parent
