​Bringing services together

By having multiple organisations working together under one roof, Youth Hub Christchurch will ensure that young people receive all the help they need without any gaps or overlap in services. This approach will encourage cooperation and collaboration between organisations.

 

​Who's involved?

More than a dozen organisations are partnering with the Youth Hub, with the main tenants being Youthline, Te Tahi Youth, VOYCE Whakarongo Mai, Rerenga Awa (Canterbury Youth Workers Collective), and the Christchurch Youth Council.

Other organisations will also be able to book one of the seven available rooms or use the open-plan office space (opening in 2025) to meet with young people. Government agencies like Work and Income, Probation Services, Oranga Tamariki, Kainga Ora, and Careers NZ will also be invited to have offices on site for visiting staff.

The impact

We estimate these providers will be able to deliver up to 8,000 contact points for young people a year. Read more about our partners below (click on the tiles to visit partner websites).
