Our Mission
National Services Te Paerangi's mission is to strengthen the museum sector by providing practical and strategic help to museums and iwi throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our goal is for museums and iwi to be significantly strengthened by increased participation in our programmes and by working collaboratively at a local and national level.
Who we are
National Services Te Paerangi has a staff of eight. We are based in an office at Te Papa, and our three Development Officers travel around New Zealand assisting museums and iwi and feeding back to the team. Julia is based in Auckland, Judith is based in Nelson and Gavin is based in Wellington.
