2024 Capability Building Programme

Are you from a social enterprise or impact-led business in Auckland, Northland or the Bay of Plenty?

Is it hard to explain to others how you create positive impact? Do you want to create even more positive impact?

If so, Ākina may be able to support you to take action, plan your next steps or connect with others who can support your enterprise journey.
