We are always open to new opportunities for our holiday and after school care sites, if you are interested in becoming a Youthtown site let us know.

HER MOVE 

HER RIDE 
Developed to inspire and empower women through sport. This programme is aimed at women 9+ to learn bicycle skills in a supportive environment. 

HER MOVE ACTIVITIES CLUB

Involves a range of engaging physical activities, giving young females the opportunity to stay active in a non-competitive environment. Through this strengths-based lens, they have the chance to empower themselves, learn important life skills, gain confidence, unlock potential and break down barriers.

NGĀ PUĀWAI

Ngā Puāwai is an 8-week Te Ao Māori lens programme for school years 7-10. Developed and nurtured by generations of our Youthtown Taupō whānau, we offer Ngā Puāwai to rangatahi who find themselves feeling stuck or lost between stages.

EOTC

Education outside the classroom is a great opportunity for students to learn new skills and develop confidence. Here at Youthtown we can develop a package that best suits your school. We have OutdoorsMark certification and some amazing offerings. 

SPORTS DELIVERY

Activations, fitness and sporting delivery by us to your local school. Find your options here. 

YOUTH EMPLOYABILITY

The purpose of the programme is to make it possible for all 14-24-year-olds to gain the insight, confidence and skills to get work, keep work and create careers.

We love supporting young people and help them gain employability skills. Our mission is to see all young people in New Zealand employable.

PLAY.MUSIC

Music in schools. Play.Music was developed to assist classroom teachers in the delivery of music to years 1-8 children. It provides a mentored approach using the Charanga music education platform. 

Play.Music enables teachers to provide powerful learning experiences for students through music while also developing their own knowledge in a fun and structured setting. 

LEARNER LICENSING

The Youthtown Learner Licence Programme was developed by our Christchurch team and has been running since 2013. A hugely popular and fun fusion of youth development and driver education, our youth team has delivered ‘LLP’ to school students, young adults, community groups and young people navigating the youth justice system.  

Run as either a 6-week programme or 3-session intensive workshop, we have supported hundreds of young people to get their first true taste of independence, with a pass rate often higher than the national average for 16-18 year-olds.
