Services

Home Services

The Youth Hub will deliver wrap-around services including mental health, medical, education, employment and training, recreation, creativity, social entrepreneurship and housing support to transform the lives of Canterbury’s young people in a one-stop-shop model.

The Hub will avoid gaps and overlaps in the provision of services to young people by having organisations co-located. This will encourage co-operation and collaboration rather than competition between organisations.
