Club Kahukura
Club Kahukura is a seven week course in the Waikato for adults who are newly questioning their gender or sexuality, or new to Rainbow community – a chance to explore identity from the ground up, with other people who are on a similar journey.
It’s a really gentle introduction that lets people figure out their own path, and encourages healthy community relationships, open to people over 18 of all genders and sexualities.
Our trained community facilitators have a range of different Rainbow community belongings. In the Waikato, we run Club Kahukura through Fraser High School Continuing Education, and it’s free.

Club Kahukura (then The Big Qs) was first developed by Hamie Munroe, Bex Fraser and Nathan Bramwell in 2017. It has been running in the Waikato ever since. As well as the current facilitator team, we are grateful to all past facilitators who have contributed to its development: Kelsey Carter, Maluseu Monise, Scarlet Bennett and Slay Way.
