About the Program

 

TU I LUGA ("Rise Up") is a cultural leadership program empowering Pacific youth through identity, tradition, and service. This special opportunity invites young Samoans (ages 15–24) to become part of the Taupou Samoa Cultural Leadership Cohort.

 

 

As a Taupou Cohort member, you will:

   

    - Be trained in culturally rooted leadership practices

    - Serve as peer mentors to younger youth

    - Co-host community and cultural events

    - Represent the TU I LUGA program in your schools and communities

    - Build confidence, cultural pride, and leadership skills for the future

 

 

We’re looking for passionate, dedicated, and culturally curious youth who are ready to RISE UP for their communities.
