Tūpuna Gold Series

Level Up Youth is a mentorship programme that supports high-risk youth within the Hamilton area. The workshops aim to show rangatahi that ‘with an idea, you can create anything’- encouraging rangatahi down the pathway of entrepreneurship and product creation. Each product designed goes deeper than just the sales- They are trying to physically break the cycle and redirect rangatahi down positive pathways.

The programme is self-funded so your koha will help to provide equipment, stationary, materials, petrol and food.

$150 of your purchase supports Level Up Youth, Hamilton. $10 from each sale is used to help us cover the $20+ in GST and card fees

Behind the product:

These Tūpuna Collectible Cards are apart of a limited 100 print series. They were dreamt up by Jay’s 14 year old son who had the unique idea to create cards inspired by Tūpuna and Whakapapa.

Unfortunately, Jay lost his son in a car crash on 14/04/26- Less than 24 hours early, the first lot of these taonga had arrived. Jay’s son never got to see his idea brought to life.

Jay has taken the loss of his son and turned it into strength to positively impact the lives of high-risk youth, encouraging them to build strong positive minds and with this comes positive actions and results.
