Who we are
We are Reconnect
Reconnect is a charity focused on the wellbeing of youth.
Our mission is to empower youth to care for themselves and others, strengthening communities and bridging gaps in overlooked areas.
Our Story
Reconnect was founded by Sarah Lee and Tina Kim in 2016 and registered as a charitable trust in May 2017. We initiated our movement with online contents addressing social issues, effectively raising public awareness. There were also one off events such as music concerts and workshops for people with disabilities, as well as flea markets dedicated to support the homeless.
Our scope since the beginning has expanded covering wide range of social issues through different events. These events include:
​
-
Mental health workshops
-
Ranui children’s programme
-
Candle programme to provide sustained support for the homeless
-
Community festive events
-
Foodpack shares for families in need during lockdowns
Reconnect is currently focusing on improving the declining hauora (wellbeing) of our youth in Auckland.
