Inspiring Stories is also the organisation behind Festival for the Future - New Zealand's biggest annual social innovation summit; The Impact Awards , which celebrate young New Zealanders making a difference with $30,000 in prizes across six categories (climate, enterprise, inclusion, wellbeing, local, and global impact); and New Zealand's social enterprise speaker bureau - Inspiring Speakers , which represents a range of top Kiwi talent for paid speaking opportunities and puts the profit back into scholarship support for young people. The Future Leaders programme supports young people aged 16-25 in rural and provincial New Zealand to build their entrepreneurship and leadership abilities capcapability, and make a difference in their backyard. The part-time programme offers young people access to different layers of mentoring and coaching, the chance to attend regional and national hui like Festival for the Future; and has a big focus on project-located learning - supporting young people to develop their ideas to make a difference in their local community. Future Leaders is a free, accessible and inclusive programme for young people. The majority of our participants identify as rangatahi M?ori (70% in 2020), and mostly as wahine (women). More than 600 people have taken part in the programme since 2016. For some, the practice has been life-changing.

Alumni have gone on to win major local and national awards, start businesses, step into leadership abilities positions, or simply pursue tertiary education for the first time in their wider wh?nau. The programme currently runs with six place-located chapters in ?p?tiki, Kawerau, Whakat?ne, Kaikohe, Whangarei, and Greymouth. Each community chapter is led by a local Coach / Kaiako, who we train and support to deliver the local programme all over the year. The impact of COVID-19 on events and gatherings has created challenges with face-to-face learning and practices, and we are evolving the programme for 2022 with a new balance of blended learning both online and in-person as COVID allows.
