CHAIRMAN'S CHAIRMAN'S REPORT REPORT

ORTANT OST IMP THE M THING IS ...

When I think about what drives us at Zeal, it is love. A love for life.

A love for rangatahi who have lost their identity, belonging, acceptance, and hope. We actually give a damn – and we’ll do whatever it takes to reach the unreachable.

We've expanded our reach to hundreds and thousands online with our Online Crisis Intervention project and World Suicide Prevention Day campaign, opened new centres, supported events for the under-18 LGBTQI+ community, and so much more.

TUHIA KI TE RANGI. TUHIA KI TE WHENUA. TUHIA KI TE NGĀKAU O NGĀ TANGATA. KO TE MEA NUI, KO TE AROHA. TIHEI MAURI ORA!

I love this Māori proverb, which translates to: “Write it in the sky, write it on the land, write it on the hearts of all people - the most important thing is love. Let there be life".

It was also a year of change. I need to honour our outgoing CEO, Matt Grey, who served us for eight years.

He represented the heart and soul of Zeal. Matt is hugely respected and his work was incredible – we will miss him dearly. I also want to honour Elliot Taylor, who stepped up in the interim and was beautifully humble in his approach. After a huge, transparent process with so many talented candidates, we are blessed to start the new financial year with our new CEO, Jesse Boyce.

He stood out for his heart, mana, drive, and love for young people.

Like any NGO, we are driven by measurable success and outcomes.

We do so much with so little.

We make the dollars work.

We won’t say no. If a young person needs us, we will always step up.

We are so thankful to the many funders, community organisations, individuals, and businesses that enable us to do what we do. It humbles us immensely.

Finally, I want to recognize the board and the staff at Zeal.

The talent is incredible, and I am often in awe of those who give their hearts to us. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

BRUCE PILBROW ZEAL CHAIRMAN

CEO REPORT

JESSE BOYCE ZEAL CEO Kia orana. It is my privilege to open this report as Zeal’s new CEO. I feel honoured to be in this position, one that carries mana from those who have gone before me.

I come to Zeal with it being in a strong position. This can be seen across the vast impact Zeal’s people and programmes have on young people across Aotearoa.

My experience here at Zeal in my first few months has been nothing short of amazing. I have never met a group more committed to the care and wellbeing of young people.

The passion the Zeal whānau has for young people is inspiring, and it’s this passion that captures the hearts and minds of communities embracing Zeal’s kaupapa and vision - to return worth and value to every young person in Aotearoa.

The future looks bright as we turn the page to a brand new chapter in the Zeal story. This is an exciting time for us to reimagine how Zeal can serve young people and communities of Aotearoa into the future. I am encouraged by who we have in our Zeal waka (our board, staff team, community and corporate partners, volunteers) and the sense of purpose shared amongst this group.

So thank you to all our supporters who share our heart and vision. With your help, we can bring transforming change to the lives of young people across Aotearoa, as you will see from the stories captured in these pages.

In late 2017 and early 2018, we conducted interviews with young people who have been positively impacted by their journey with Zeal. The result is our Secret Sauce - a model that explains our theory of change.

SECRET CHAIRMAN'S SAUCE REPORT

EE

E T SAU R C C E WORTH

Belonging is about young people feeling connected and cared for in the community. When young people belong, their true selves are accepted, validated and supported, and they feel a part of something larger than themselves.

IDENTITY

BELONGING

6

Zeal creates communities of belonging and creativity, supporting young people to find and shape a healthy identity. Our end goal is that young people know and believe they are someone of worth and value. At Zeal, we believe in young people until they believe in themselves. In claiming their worth, young people lead themselves towards a better future.

CREATIVITY

Creativity is about young people expressing their thoughts, feelings and ideas in a way that is natural and enjoyable for them. When young people create, they learn that they have a voice, and that there is something they enjoy that also adds value to the world.

Identity is about young people discovering where they’ve come from, who they are and who they want to be. Identities are containers that carry us through life – some are healthy and some are not. When young people find and shape a healthy identity, they make choices that are consistent with their core values and contribute to their own good and the good of others.

Worth is about young people knowing and believing they have innate value that cannot be lost or taken from them. Worth comes from steady love that is without condition. When young people’s worth is returned to them, they lead themselves towards a better future.

ELLIOT TAYLOR GENERAL MANAGER

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT K AUPAPA PEOPLE VALUES

K AUPAPA PEOPLE VALUES In the early days, Zeal was a ragtag bunch of passionate, creative misfits dedicated to the cause of young people. At our first hui in 2010, fifteen of us gathered in Zeal West’s art room.

1. Know the why 2. Hold discomfort with the status quo 3. Make it happen 4. Be dedicated and dependable 5. Stay open and keep learning 6. Be vulnerable and transparent 7. Stay lighthearted and look after yourself 8. Collaborate and celebrate 9. Show confident humility 10. Lead with empathy and compassion 8

11. Go after the one

We brainstormed the values of our people on a whiteboard: words like innovative, initiative, honesty, compassionate, questioner, humility, and risk-taker emerged.

Now we’ve pinpointed eleven values that explain who we are and who we aspire to be. Like everything at Zeal, these values are a work in progress.

We don’t aim for a static culture, but a dynamic culture that gets better and better the more we learn. We won’t always get it right - and that’s okay. But we’ll do the best we can with what we have every day.

Eight years on, Zeal has nearly fifty staff and interns across five locations and seven departments.

With our growth, we noticed a need to return to the values of our people.

Our aim was to define who we are and who we want to be – the traits, characteristics, ways of working and relating that are truly Zeal. With those locked in, we can celebrate who we are and hold ourselves to it, too.

ELLIOT TAYLOR GENERAL MANAGER

TĀMAKI MAKAURAU WEST AUCKLAND It has been a massive year for us in West Auckland. We have run some epic projects, helped young people gain new skills and employment, and we have seen them find belonging in the Zeal whānau and the wider community.

We have had a great run of creative programmes and Gateway classes this year. Our former Programme Coordinator, Naomi, really set the standard for how we deliver Zeal programmes - this culture has continued and grown with our new coordinator, Janelle. Our 2018 intake of students has been the biggest we’ve ever had, and we’ve received great feedback from all involved.

Our youth workers continue to do amazing things. Not only have they taken our afternoon hangs to another level, but they’ve also spearheaded projects like National Youth Week, Versus School Tour, and some new mentoring groups that have delivered fantastic results.

Our venue is being used by more community groups than ever before, with venue hire coordinator Mati bringing a new energy into the space. Thanks to the work Sophie

YOUNG PERSON did at the beginning of the year, the recording studios are buzzing and continue to grow with our Studio Coordinator Josh bringing in a new vibe.

The streets in the Henderson CBD are well looked after with our street youth workers who are out three times a week, connecting with young people where they are at and building a bridge between the streets and community-based services.

At Zeal West, we are kept afloat by the great behind-the-scenes work of Kerryn, and successful execution of our amazing frontline team. We strive to keep the young people at the heart of what we do, and keep the community at the heart of our operation.

45 Hi, I'm Grace.

Grace (12) first came to Zeal West during the Term 2 holidays of 2018. She had lots of fun doing photography at the beach, eating pies and watching K-pop on YouTube.

Since then, Grace has been coming most days during the week to hang out with our youth team and volunteered at our 10th birthday celebration. Grace is a great new addition to our Zeal West whānau, and at only 12, we are very excited to see her grow and do awesome things with us.

"Whenever I come to Zeal I feel accepted for who I am, and I don't have to try and be someone I'm not. Zeal is amazing."

— Grace

KIRIKIRIROA HAMILTON Over the last year, we have seen Zeal Hamilton become a home for diverse groups of young people. The four organisations that share our whare enable diverse groups of young people to explore their uniqueness in a safe and supportive environment, surrounded by like-minded peers.

Through our Event Management programme taught by Zeal-kidturned-tutor Dani, we partnered with Waikato Queer Youth (WaQuY) to run a Pride event for the under-18 LGBTQI+ community in Hamilton.

The event was an incredibly special moment for us, as we recognised the privilege it was to provide a space where these young people were able to share their talents and identities proudly.

In June, we held the first Zeal Hamilton art exhibition in over two years, featuring the work of our six photography students.

We love bringing Zeal’s kaupapa out of our centre to share it with the wider community, and our young photographers were stoked to see over 100 people celebrating their work.

YOUNG PERSON Our Saturday night CBD-based street youth work initiative has continued to grow, aiding young people in finding belonging and enjoyment in a safe and supportive environment. With the recent closing of the Kmart Night Markets, we have been planning a new way forward in the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

Zeal Hamilton is focused on connecting young people to more opportunities throughout the city, as seen through our partnership with Great Potentials, where we provided in-schools mentoring (MATES) with Year 13s from Melville High School to support their transition to further study. We have also launched our two-time award winning social enterprise Ward Lane Print Co., with the aim of transitioning young people into meaningful first-time employment.

HAMILTON STATS All ages events run:

Hi, I'm Maddy.

Maddy (17) started coming to Zeal in May, when her and other youth mentors from WaQuY participated in our Event Management programme.

They threw a youth queer pride event called My Youth - one of our first collaborative events between Zeal and WaQuY. Since then, she's been a part of our Barista and Photography programmes and continues to be a consistent presence bridging the gap between WaQuY and Zeal young people.

"Zeal is a very 'come as you are' place.

Anyone and everyone can just roll up and know that whoever is at the top of the stairs will greet them with a smile and a 'Hey! How's it going!'

It's such a warm and welcoming place that I don't even mind the hike up the stairs, because I know I'm going to find some strange and compassionate people and a sense of family at the top." — Maddy

KĀPITI We’ve crossed into our third year on the ground at Zeal Kāpiti (Te Roopu Ngākaunui ki Kāpiti), and this year we’ve reached the massive achievement of building and opening our new centre.

With over three years of fundraising, and countless hours across the agency, we began construction in January this year.

The million dollar project has been both exhausting and exhilarating all in one.

With support from multiple funders, partnership with Kāpiti Coast District Council, and great community connections, the centre was officially opened on the 28th of June.

Our dawn blessing held a special part of proceedings with Koro Rakauoteora Te Maipi and Te Umuariki Mei gifting names for each of the spaces in the building, along with karakia that fit and tell the story of this place. A local community champion Karl Webber gifted a beautiful kōhatu (stone) from Motungārara Island as an anchor in the building. A cold but beautiful celebration event was held later that night, with people from across the community who have been a part of this project.

YOUNG PERSON Our Music Box (a 20ft shipping container converted into a mobile music studio) has continued to be a huge hit, rounding off the year in Kāpiti College with regular college band gigs over lunchtimes. Our barista programme (run from our custom-built coffee cart) continues to fill every intake, where we bridge the gap between youth unemployment and training opportunities to give the real world experience needed to gain employment locally.

Since opening the youth centre, we now have regular events, afternoon hangs, creative workshops and all kinds of excitement happening in the building. It really is becoming a hub for creative young people, and I am excited to be a part of continuing this growth.

Hi, I'm Riana.

Riana (16) connected to Zeal through her youth worker at another organisation earlier this year.

Once she came through our doors, she just kept coming back. At first, she was quiet and stayed in the background - but since then, she has joined our leadership team, gained work experience with us, and continues to be a key young person at our afternoon hangs and events. She’s constantly growing and helping us build our name in our community by bringing in new rangatahi through our doors all the time.

“I love the environment! It’s a very open and safe space where I feel I can be myself.”

TE MATAU-A-MĀUI HAWKE’S BAY Our growing reputation across the Hawke’s Bay over the last three years has resulted in Zeal becoming a leader in the delivery of youth events, with over 25 alcohol-free events delivered across the region per year. Our goal is to encourage young people to reach their full potential through skills development, tuition and performance opportunities.

Highlights included two sell out events. The Zeal Colour Fun Run held in September in aid of World Suicide Prevention Day saw over 800 spectators, standers-by and sprinters coming together to celebrate life. The Zeal Paint Party held in March this year saw over 900 young people turn up dressed in white, local DJ’s entertaining the crowd and 120 litres of fluorescent paint thrown over everyone.

For the first time in three years, we hosted the regional dance competition qualifier for Hip Hop International NZ, with 11 crews from the Hawke’s Bay taking part in the event. Hip hop dance is hugely supported in the Hawke’s Bay, with 300 people attending the finals.

YOUNG PERSON We are hugely grateful to our team of 15-20 young volunteers who helped plan, promote and produce all these amazing events.

In December, we launched Zeal’s mobile event trailer. With a fold down stage and sound equipment, the trailer enables us to run events wherever young people are. The trailer also doubles up as a Music Box, offering tuition and workshops in DJing, guitar, drums, keyboard and beat-making. Operating in Tamatea, Pirimai, Maraenui, Camberley, Raureka, Flaxmere and other suburbs, more than 250 per week, (60 a day) engaged with programmes during weekends and school holidays.

The Design Box, a converted container currently located in Taradale, offered over 30 young people workshops in Graphic Design, Web Design and Photography. The Design Box will be used later this year to train young people in Event Management.

REZPECT DANCE ACADEMY In term four of 2017, we ran eight dance classes and nine dance crews. We ended 2017 with a record number of dancers wanting to be a part of our dance crews for 2018. This made us re-look at everything we do.

The reality was, we did not have enough time in our week to cater to the volume of people we had wanting to be a part of our dance family - not to mention that our waiting list was (and still is) around 40 - 50 people long. We had a massive period of self-reflection, looking at the why of what we do, working out what impacts on young people’s lives the most, and what the most productive use of our resources were.

We needed more space.

Thanks to the opening of our second studio in Hawke’s Bay this year, we have 17 dance classes and 16 dance crews in the Rezpect whānau. This leaves us with over 320 dancers coming through our studios each week. We do have a few minor challenges and things we’re ironing out, but we are growing, we are flourishing, and we are changing the lives of young people in the Hawke's Bay through dance.

YOUNG PERSON Within a dance crew, we’ve seen young people experience the most growth and the most life altering experiences and challenges. It is here within crews that we are able to work with a small group of young people and train them not only in dance, but also in character: teaching these young people tools that they will carry through the rest of their lives and giving them experiences that nothing else they were involved with could do.

Hi, I'm Morgan.

Before joining Rezpect, Morgan (19) felt lost and like he was not fulfilling his purpose, having been told he “he can’t dance” and “wasn't good enough". Morgan found us through seeing a performance at a local community festival, and has since found a place that makes him feel "full.” Morgan attends every class he can and volunteers at our events, often biking from one side of the city to the other so he doesn't miss a training.

"Rezpect is awesome. It makes me feel inspired, happy and brings me more energy. It helps me feel like a role model to my younger sibling and that I have value that I can share with the world."

TE WHANGA-NUI-A-TARA WELLINGTON

TE WHANGA-NUI-A-TARA WELLINGTON After being displaced by the earthquake in Wellington, we’ve moved into a new, earthquake-proof centre in the heart of the CBD, right across from our social enterprise Stories Espresso Bar. Being in such a central location has enabled us to continue to reach out to young people where they are and deliver our programmes to those who need it most.

Thanks to local support from our donors, we were able to fit out our new space, with offices and rooms being installed.

Our creative programmes, which offer NCEA credits to high school students, have been so popular among young people that we have a waiting list. Every term, rangatahi are upskilled in Art, Photography, Graphic Design and Event Management, with industry-standard tutors sourced from all over Wellington.

YOUNG PERSON We’ve also started running events in Lower Hutt, with Open Mic Nights and all ages gigs seeing hundreds of rangatahi from the area coming out.

We are looking forward to deepening our relationship with the young people of the region and bringing some of the Zeal spirit to places we haven’t been before.

Alongside our weekly Girls’ Group, a Guys’ Group has been established.

Both groups can share and grow in a safe and inclusive space.

We have also begun a rainbow group for LGBTQI+ rangatahi in the city.

We are excited to see where our Wellingtonian young creative misfits will take us in the next year.

Hi, I'm Cheyhane.

Cheyhane (17) was introduced to Zeal through a friend in 2017.

Since then, she's performed at the Open Mic Night, ran a couple of Girls’ Group sessions, planned an art day in Porirua, and regularly comes to camps and our afternoon hangs. Cheyhane is full of passion and talent, and Zeal has been a great platform to help her shine.

"I enjoy the atmosphere at Zeal. I feel like I belong somewhere where I won’t be judged or put down."

Stories Espresso Bar YOUNG PERSON

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

STORIES ESPRESSO BAR STATS

Hi, I'm Ella.

In 2018, Stories Espresso Bar feels like it has grown into maturity.

We have found better ways to bridge the gap between Stories and the wider Zeal Wellington whānau, with a number of students hanging out at afterschool programmes, signing up to Zeal programmes, and attending Zeal camps where we can offer holistic support for our young people.

We have continued partnering with local schools in the Wellington region, increasing our capacity this year to place six students per term through our course and work experience. We have seen many students grow in their confidence, resilience and self-belief after working in our space, and many of them have moved onto work or further study.

We also ran pop-up stores at large events, including one alongside World Vision at the Arise Conference, which hosted over 6000 people. We were able to generate further revenue for Zeal, whilst giving some students an introduction into a much higher volume cafe experience which is often crucial when applying for jobs.

We continue to see the value in what we do by the number of young people who will often simply stop by to catch up and drink a coffee because of the positive experience they had with us.

KIRK HODGSON Cafe Manager

“When working at Stories cafe under the watchful eye of Kirk Hodgson, I had an incredible time whilst learning a valuable skill. The things I learnt in this programme helped to perfect my barista skills, even after my time in the programme. Not only am I now confident in my skills with coffee, I also made many friends and had an incredible experience overall.”

LIVE FOR TOMORROW STATS

Live For Tomorrow This year, our combination of social media campaigns and regular content saw people engaging with @livefortmw content 814,742 times. As part of that, series two of The Great Mental Health Experiment followed Zeal youth worker Beth Humphrey as she tried out ways to support her mental health, and received more than 630,000 views.

The fourth year of the Live For Tomorrow Photo Challenge saw moments of mindfulness posted by our online community over 10 days in September in the lead-up to World Suicide Prevention Day. The content was seen by more than 800,000 people around the world. We concluded our Live For Tomorrow Chapters project by training 81 students and adding four new schools. More than 250 students have been trained to deliver health promotion initiatives and start safe conversations around mental health, in over 30 high schools around Aotearoa.

With The Collaborative Trust, we undertook leading research around youth online behaviour in times of crisis, focusing on how best to support young people online. This will lead to a workshop later in the year for any adults working with young people, assisting them to support the young people they know online more effectively.

The Online Crisis Intervention project continues to grow, proactively offering care and support for young people expressing moments of personal crisis through social media. Fortyfive new volunteers came through their base training this year, allowing us to offer immediate interpersonal support to almost 1,000 young people in crisis around the world.

To cap it all off, we partnered with Zeal Hawke’s Bay to deliver the "What do you live for?" Colour Fun Run – 850 people ran to fundraise for mental health.
