Our kaimahi (staff) will walk alongside rangatahi, taiohi and young adults to connect them with a range of resources, advice and mentoring to navigate accommodation, education, training, or employment, accessing benefits, as well as other issues they might be facing.

All of our rangatahi / taiohi and young adults’ services are free, and are provided from our base in New Lynn in the west of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Rangatahi or taiohi will have an allocated Kai Atawhai (support worker) or youth coach who will work one on one with them to develop personalised plans that match their needs and goals and are focused on what matters to them. The Kai Atawhai or Youth Coach will discuss with rangatahi or taiohi, areas of their life – such as education, relationships, home, or work – they’d like to change or work on, hobbies and interests they have, and their goals and aspirations.

Accessing any of our rangatahi and young adults’ services also gives access to our Youth Hub, within our West Tāmaki Makaurau office.
