Your future starts here! Maximize your potential!

What can our Youth Services offer you?

Our Youth Service offers a range of services and programmes designed to help young people in South Auckland be the best they can be.

We have a dedicated team of Youth Advisors who are experienced and committed to providing guidance and support, and to mentor and encourage our youth. Our focus is on Positive Youth Development and Early Intervention. We have a holistic approach so our team work with the young person, their whanau and the wider community. We continue to build on the foundation of the young person to reach their full potential through education and building community spirit.

Our youth work is about young people and adults working together. We know when young people are empowered, involved and respected they have more opportunities and more options for the future.

Our goal is to build confident individuals who can think for themselves, make informed decisions and be responsible. We aim to assist and help develop values and attributes that can particularly affect the lives of young people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged or are most challenged by school.
