YouBeYou - Aotearoa holds a deep respect for The Treaty of Waitangi and it's human centric social value, along with the treaty principles of Friendship, Protection and Participation.

The Treaty of Waitangi is Aotearoa New Zealand's founding document and should always be the foundation of our mutually supportive society.
We believe the concepts of partnership contained within the treaty are critical to an understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion. And, that only in embracing and celebrating our nation's history, our ancient cultures and all our peoples together, can we develop truly modern, progressive, and dynamic communities.

We are committed to celebrating our multi-cultural environment while protecting Māori culture and heritage as the first peoples of this land. Moreover, we value the stories and experiences that all our peoples can bring in the creation of a vibrant and positive Aotearoa New Zealand.

Fundamentally, we view that all New Zealanders, regardless of the colour of one's skin, of one's ethnic background, our culture, who we love, our individual identity, our socio-economic standing, or our chosen beliefs, we all should have the ability to participate and succeed.

Ko to tatou kaha ehara i te mea mo te tangata takitahi, engari mo teroopu.
Our strength is not that of the individual, but rather that of the collective
