The Trust owns and operates the tall ship Spirit of New Zealand and runs its’ world renowned youth development programme on board. The programme is a 10 Day voyage where a group of 40 young people from all over New Zealand aged 16-18 years come together for the learning adventure of a lifetime.
For well over forty years the Trust has hosted more than 75,000 young people on board and given them the opportunity to gain tangible, meaningful and lasting benefits from Spirit of Adventure’s development programmes.
The Trust strives to raise enough funds every year to enable all and any young New Zealander to take part and benefit, regardless of their background or financial circumstances.
