Te Tahi Youth

Te Tahi Youth is a youth ‘one-stop shop’ for medical, sexual, and mental health services, as well as youth development and employment support to help Christchurch’s rangatahi find their way through life. And it’s all free. We’ve been here for young people since 1995. First as 198 Youth Health Centre, then 298. Today, we are Te Tahi Youth.

Business Opportunities Broker will work alongside businesses to support them to create opportunities to connect with young people. If you love what we do, we need you to join us. As a not-for-profit we wouldn’t be able to provide our life-affirming and life-changing services without the support of our partners. Individuals, organisations, businesses. Financial or in-kind. A partnership can come in many forms. If you are able to support our mahi, please contact Te Tahi Youth Manager Fiona Kay to discuss how we can work together to create change and provide you with a legacy you’re proud of.
