Belong Aotearoa
We work to drive transformational change to improve inclusion, belonging and wellbeing for refugee-background and migrant communities.
For more than 20 years, Belong Aotearoa has worked to understand the settlement experience for newcomers to New Zealand and to influence and advocate for migrants and former refugees to have access to better opportunities and wellbeing outcomes.
Our Work
Our work improves the well-being for former refugee and migrant communities by challenging the systems that make it hard to settle in Aotearoa.
Our People
Our diverse team brings a broad range of skills and experience to the work we do. Learn more about our people.
Over the past few years, we’ve seen an incredible rise in participants joining our Food Control Plan (FCP) training, and it has been so inspiring to watch!
What’s even more exciting is the growing interest in starting food businesses and markets, especially those celebrating international and culturally diverse cuisines. People are eager to share authentic flavours from around the world and communities are responding with open arms….and hungry stomachs!
