Welcome to Youth Hub Christchurch!

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 which is open now includes a wrap-around youth services building, outdoor activities courtyard and supported housing wing for 22 young people.

An Activities and Events Centre will be built 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.
