  1. Grantee | April 2021

Despite being only 23, April is a veteran contributor to community wellbeing through founding the Limitless Charitable Trust following a social enterprise accelerator course she took as a teenager. Limitless supports young New Zealanders to pursue work aligned with their strengths and values. She says it started with her own experience of being unsure where to next after high school. Over the last five years, Limitless has reached and inspired over 700 students from 32 schools with the Limitless Conference, Limitless Online and resources. Long recognised for her work, April has represented New Zealand at a Global Entrepreneurship Summit in California and also won the Minister for Youth Development's International Leadership Award in 2017. To help April have even more of an impact on young people in Aotearoa, this Grant will support her to complete the Strategy Execution online course with Harvard University which she has been accepted into.
