We want to see young people thrive.

Believing that it takes a village to raise a child, 24-7 YouthWork enables healthy relationship
between a local school and a local church in the context of the wider community.

Regional Contacts
  • "They need to have young people that they can share their visions and aspirations with because young people understand young people. I think 24-7YW youth workers should be in every school, right throughout New Zealand because they do a good job and they have a passion for other young people."
  • "There are teachers and counsellors, but the youth workers share a love you just can’t explain. They are there constantly, they are another support, but you know they are being genuine about what they do. It has inspired me to be someone like that."
  • "I miss being in school and I miss some of the relationships – being the Mayor is quite a different role from being a youth worker! But hopefully, some of the skills I’ve learned and some of the relationships I’ve formed will help me be a better Mayor."
