Who We Are
Our aim is to reduce the alarming statistics New Zealand has become known for. Our youth suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, pornography use, anxiety and depression rates amongst our young people continue to climb and are all issues that no kiwi will be proud of.
Revolution Tour is a brilliant assembly programme, but we are so much more than that. We are a movement of people that understand we can be part of the solution to these BIG issues. Over the last 15 years we have been proactive in our attempt to turn the curve of New Zealand’s youth suicide statistics by being a practical catalyst of hope and change for hundreds of thousands of students across the country every year.

Build
Resilience.
We acknowledge life has it’s challenges and if you’re not currently in a difficult situation it is likely you are not far off one. This is not negativity or cynicism; this is real life and we love to present practical advice on how to get through these tough times and to not waste the lessons that can be learnt through them.
Empower
Change.
Self and Social awareness are our primary keys key to empowering change. It’s important to realise there is some very pressing and real need around us and even more crucial to understand that we can be the answer to some of it. You might not be in the position to change the whole world, but you are in the position to change someone’s world – even if it’s one small act at a time.
