Ka Tu Maia Young Women’s Leadership Summit returns for its second year of incredible women, inspirational talks and action packed workshops designed to help young Kiwi women win at life.

This isn’t just about ‘traditional’ leadership - this is about helping young women lead in every aspect of their lives. This year’s summit is all about empowering young women to achieve their dreams, inspiring them to think big and teaching them the practical skills to do just that! Want to learn how to start your own business? Smash self limiting beliefs and unleash your inner badass boss woman? Or even just meet similar rad humans?

We hear you.

We have an all-star line up of inspirational women from all walks of life sharing wisdom, inspiration and things they’d wish they’d known…And we'll be tackling topics like:

*Self Made Babes – How you can start your own business and turn your dream into an empire

*Procrastination killer - How to train yourself to stop fluffing around and get it done

*Self Doubt Slaying – Stop listening to that inner critic and unleash your powerhouse potential

* You don’t have to know what you want – no idea what you’re doing with life? No problem!

*Love yourself – let’s be real, your 20s can be rough. But we’ve got your back…

So if you want to be part of this jam packed day with like-minded rad humans, get your tickets today! Tickets only $25 and scholarships available. This is one awesome day that you won’t want to miss out on.

This year’s summit is hosted by YWCA Auckland and writer & media personality Verity Johnson in partnership with AUT. It will be held at AUT City Campus, 8th September, 9am – 4.30pm.

So what are you waiting for, grab your tickets now! But be quick - we sold out last year and we'd hate for you to miss out.

We believe that these events are for everyone, so we offer scholarships for both tickets and travel. For more information, please go here -

Social climbers - the comedy - is touring NZ!

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Elaine Juggernaut took her son's friends aside, pointed at his coffin. "I told them 'look what Nathan did. He jumped in a stolen car, he crashed that car, killed himself, killed another person, do you want to end up like him?'"

She said she then pointed at her son in his coffin. "They all put their heads down so I am hoping that I got through to them."

Hi neighbours,

Get your bikes and walking shoes ready - you'll soon be able to use them to cross the Auckland Harbour bridge!

The Government has announced it will fund and build the proposed pedestrian and cycleway, however can not yet say when.

So, what are your thoughts on the link between the Shore and the city? Will it make your commute easier in the mornings? Or do you think the money should be better spent elsewhere in Auckland? Let us know in the replies!

Hi neighbours – Loud Shirt Day is coming up in September and it's time to use your power of LOUD for GOOD.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.

Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!

Register to fundraise and help deaf children like Izabella listen and speak. You can also donate here on Givealittle. Thanks for your support!
