Services

*Our services will vary due to Alert Level 2, for up to date information see our Facebook Page. 

Whangarei Youth Space is a friendly safe environment for young people to relax and enjoy time with their friends, take part in after-school and holiday programmes.
Whangarei Youth Space [WYS] provides a fully integrated Youth Development and Youth Health service with youth workers and clinical staff trained specifically to work with young people.   All the services are free to members and having the health clinic as part of the youth drop in space makes it super easy to access health support.  All services are free to members of WYS.

Youth Activities and Programmes

 

 We offer a range of activities from school holiday programmes to life skills such as budgeting and cooking, to sports, to help finding a job.  Every day we have a hot meal cooked by our young people which is neat.  We evaluate all our programmes and activities and our services evolve to meet the changing needs of our young people. Young people are a key part of the decisions at Whangarei Youth Space, they help us shape the programmes and activities to ensure the services we provide are youth relevant.
