Hello and welcome! Thank you for joining us in creating Two Floors of Amazing: a unique space where young people are empowered to step into their best future. Please enjoy this update from our leadership team. Our social media platforms will be active soon, but in the meanwhile do feel free to email us with any of your comments or questions. We love hearing from you!

Project Connect

Thank you to everyone who attended our first workshop in September. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed meeting you and hearing all about your ideas! Download the official report from Curative via the button below. Watch this space as well as version 2.0 is currently in the making.

Property Update

Thank you to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for helping us demolish the interior of the building at 2 Mary Poynton Crescent, Takapuna. The space is now clear for us to install all of the cool stuff you had told us you wanted. We will be drawing up concept plans with some architects soon that you will definitely get the chance to play around with!

Trip to Christchurch

We flew down to Christchurch on Monday 31st October. It was incredible to have been able to visit the Enterprise Precinct and Innovation Campus, the Ministry of Awesome, and Bizdojo which are all high-tech collaborative work spaces. We also helped out at the Sales & Marketing Jam hosted by the Kiwi Landing Pad!

Christmas Party

You should expect to receive an invitation soon to attend our first ever Christmas Party in the afternoon of Saturday 17th December! There will be free food, lively entertainment, great banter, and just awesome company. It will be a fantastic opportunity as well to meet our leadership team, ask questions, and share your thoughts. We can't wait to see you there!
