Laura Griffin

I have a desire to assist the next generation to become positive change makers.

Laura started her journey  with I Have a Dream as a passionate, enthusiastic and energetic Navigator and after working on many different projects within the organisation and taking time to welcome a family Laura is now dedicated to optimising both programming and impact measurement for I Have a Dream.

Laura has a background of working with children across many settings including as a student mentor, youth tutor, surf instructor and holiday programme supervisor. Laura continues to be driven by supporting children to grow and develop and help them foster the concept that “life is forever a journey of growth and discovery towards increasing excellence in everything we do”.

Laura has completed her Bachelor of Arts majoring in Education and minoring in Development, and is committed to an ongoing learning journey to better understand tikanga Māori, kaupapa Māori theory and Te Reo.

When not working, Laura loves being outdoors and active in nature with surfing one of her main passions – she was NZ’s National Woman’s Champion in 2010!
