## Resource

Teenagers in Kaikōura are set to benefit from a major new initiative that’s unlocking driver’s licenses with free lessons and hands-on training — all designed to break down barriers and open doors for young people in a town with limited transport options. With funding secured for three years, Te Hā o Mātauranga is teaming up with Kaikōura High School to deliver theory, driving lessons, and even weekend trips to Blenheim for real-world test prep. This isn’t just about passing a test — it’s about independence, job access, and building a stronger future for the whole community.
