Help build Youth Hub Christchurch!

Name: Youth Hub Christchurch
Address: NZ

About us

We are constructing New Zealand's first purpose built Youth Hub in the heart of central Christchurch. The Hub will provide everything Christchurch's young people need to improve and maintain their mental health from supported housing and health and support services, to recreation and creativity. Stage One is expected to be open from the end of 2024. We continue to fundraise to build the remaining stages and fit-out the facility.
