DRIVE Their Future: Help Our Young Drivers Gear up to get behind the Wheel

Join Korio and other local business - Sponsor a student spot and help make our roads safer for everyone.

One of our clients here at Korio is the not-for-profit organisation Street Smart who run hands-on, practical young driver training at various Motorsports Parks around the motu, including here in Taupō. Street Smart is an organisation close to our hearts - we are passionate about keeping our young people safe on the roads.

You might be curious as to what Street Smart actually is, and how it works. In a nutshell, Street Smart driven by Tony Quinn Foundation Road Safety, is a driver’s education programme designed to help young Kiwis stay safe on the road. The programme involves young drivers attend a hands-on, practical training day at a local-to-them Motorsports Park which takes them through seven activities, with each using hands-on techniques to fine-tune their knowledge.

We have been working with Street Smart to identify ways communities can get behind the initiative - after all, we know we are not the only ones who care deeply about the safety of our young people (on and off the roads), and who would like to be part of the solution.

By giving our young people the practical tools they need to be better and safer drivers we can make a real difference.

We want to give 20 Taupō students the chance to attend.

The next Street Smart delivery days here in Taupō are coming up in September, and we’ve set ourselves a community goal: sponsor twenty places for students from Taupō-nui-a-Tia College and Tauhara College. Each spot costs $149—an investment that could one day save a life.

We’re inviting local businesses to get behind this. Whether you fund one student or several, you’ll be directly helping young drivers in our community become safer, more confident, and more prepared.

How to get involved.

It’s pretty simple really - send us an email (megan@korio.co.nz) or click on the button below and let us know the number of spots you’d like to cover, and we’ll take care of the rest.



This is about more than sponsorship. It’s about looking out for each other on the road, building skills for life, and showing our young people that Taupō backs them.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
