Caitlin Spence - Supporting Youthline Wellington's Digital Appeal 2020

I'm taking part in Youthline Wellington's Digital Appeal 2020 as a Digital Volunteer. Due to COVID-19, Youthline Wellington is shifting their Annual Street Appeal online so that we can continue to raise important funds to keep the organisation's operations going.

At a time when the need for support and connection is immense, Youthline Wellington are here for young kiwis and those around them. Youthline Wellington provide counselling support through phone, text, webchat and email. They also run development programmes for youth, host workshops in schools and provide ongoing education in the community to build confidence, awareness and support for young people and their community.

Your donation keeps all of this going!

According to the Youthline website:

$15 (NZD) donation allows us to provide one young person 10 minutes of much-needed telephone support

$30 (NZD) Allows us to respond to 120 texts (we receive 617 texts per day)

$60 (NZD) Keeps our phone, text, and email service operating for one hour

$120 (NZD) Gives eight young people 10 minutes of much-needed telephone support
