This month marks the 20th year of COMET Auckland - Te Hononga Akoranga. We are celebrating 20 years of championing change in diverse areas, such as financial literacy, ECE provision, youth transition and intergenerational learning. Our vision is everyone has the right to shine and realise their dreams through lifelong learning. To do this the power of weaving people together for the greater good underpins our work.

To help commemorate COMET’s 20th we have taken to our social media featuring staff, board and key stakeholders talking about why they are involved with COMET, using a photo and story from their past. Make sure you check it out our Facebook page.
