Wilberforce Foundation

Know someone ready to take the next step in leadership?
We still have spaces open for both Mentors and Mentees in our Wilberforce Mentoring Programme 2026!
At Wilberforce, we believe that emerging leaders are the future—especially in Christian for-purpose organisations. Investing in these leaders now helps sustain and grow the impact of the work we care deeply about.
✨ Who is this for?
Second-tier leaders who are ready to grow—those stepping up, taking on more responsibility, and wanting to build their confidence, skills, and networks.
✨ What to expect:
• One-on-one mentoring with an experienced leader
• Leadership and personal development
• Opportunities to connect with others across the sector
• Growth in faith, character, and confidence
The programme runs from 2 June to 1 December 2026, starting with an in-person orientation day in Auckland.

Let’s invest together in the next generation of leaders.

Chairing a board comes with real responsibility — and real opportunity to lead well.
Chairing Well is a practical workshop for current and aspiring Board Chairs who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Facilitated by Peter Crow, this session focuses on the unique role of the Chair — from shaping board culture to supporting effective decision-making and healthy governance–management relationships. It is tailored to those on Boards in the faith-based, for-purpose sector.
Join us for honest conversations, shared learning, and real-world insights to strengthen your leadership.
