Research

The research we produce at the Māia Centre is created by the community, for the community. Some of this work is led by young people, guided by our team, as part of the Brave Research internship.

This research delves into the multifaceted experiences of students who balance work alongside their studies, aiming to amplify their voices through storytelling. By closely listening to their narratives, we examine the reasons behind their choice to work and identify actionable recommendations for schools to better support these students. Additionally, it presents solutions to the challenges identified by young people, informing advocacy groups, policymakers, and government bodies to drive meaningful policy changes.
