Empowering Pasifika to Lead.

Supporting Strong and Prosperous Pacific Communities.

Tula’i is a Pasifika Youth Development Organisation dedicated to empowering young Pasifika to arise and lead with confidence, purpose, and pride. Guided by our core values of Love, Humility, Reciprocal Relationships, and Respect, we deliver leadership programmes, community forums, and tailored initiatives—all designed to enhance outcomes for Pasifika youth.

Our focus is on equipping Pasifika young people with the tools, connections, and opportunities they need to thrive. By nurturing leadership, cultural identity, and resilience, we aim to inspire the next generation to reach their full potential and positively impact their communities.

Our Vision

Our Programmes

Our programmes are designed specifically for Pasifika communities, ensuring they are culturally relevant and tailored to meet the unique needs of each group.

Currently, we collaboratively facilitate programmes that focus on both personal and collective development, including:

Tula’i Ngāue Pasifika Youth Leadership Programme – Empowering young Pasifika to grow as confident and capable leaders.
Tula’i Ngāue Tuakana Development – Supporting and equipping Tuakana with the skills to lead and mentor others.
IG (Inspiring Growth) for Young Pasifika – Encouraging young people to discover their potential and take steps towards their future.

Our Projects

Our projects provide a platform to gather insights, drive innovation, and advocate for equitable outcomes for Pasifika communities.

We are honoured to lead two key initiatives:

The Malie Project – Strengthening pathways for Pasifika youth by engaging Tula’i alumni in life skills and wellbeing workshops, support networks, and ongoing development.
The "What IF Project" – PPF Impact Forums – A space for intergenerational dialogue, bringing Pasifika voices together to explore challenges, identify opportunities, and develop solutions that create meaningful change.

Through these projects, we aim to amplify Pasifika voices, foster collaboration, and drive sustainable impact.

Our Community

Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the classroom to ensure Pasifika have the support they need to thrive—both in their learning and in life.

We actively collaborate with local organisations, schools, and community groups to create a strong network of support, providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities that empower Pasifika to succeed.

By working together, we can build a future where every Pasifika individual has the foundation to reach their full potential.
