CONNECTED | WHANAUNGATANGA
We have tons of youth-led events and social groups where you can connect with other like-minded youth! One of our goals is to make sure the well-being of our youth is taken care of, being connected and building relationships with friends and community is a great way to improve personal well-being.
Our groups attend regional and national hui. And we are always excited to hear new ideas and support you if you want to create your own events and activities.
HEARD | WHAKARONGONA
Our trust makes sure the needs of our youth are heard and acted upon, with our vision being to work creatively with young people in ways that cultivate connection, growth, positive change, and participation within the Grey District.
This has resulted in many vibrant youth-led events, and the implementation of support services such as the Māwhera Youth Health and Wellbeing Service.
We are a safe space for youth to voice their needs, wants and opinions.

ENGAGED | PĀHEKOHEKO
Motivated to support more community engagement, we established and coordinate the West Coast Youth Sector Network. The network meets regularly to share knowledge and inspire collaboration in the Youth Sector. If you are a professional working in a Youth-related field and you're interested in collaborating with like-minded individuals and organisations on the West Coast of the South Island, get in touch.
