About us

Youth Hub Christchurch is New Zealand's first purpose built Youth Hub complete with supported housing facilities. We are located at 109 Salisbury Street in the central city. The Hub provides 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 opening for Te Tahi Youth clients from 20 November. Other youth providers will move in before Christmas, while the supported housing wing will open in February 2025. An Events Centre will be added in 2025. We continue to fundraise to build another wing of housing and communal spaces including including a café, creative arts space, art gallery, carving workshop and quiet gardens and spaces for rest and relaxation.
