Youth In Transition Charitable Trust

Our kids, Our community, Our responsibility. HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE FIND A LIFE WORTH LIVING

Auckland

Your donation will make a difference to a young life

Youth in Transition is a Charitable Trust dependent on donations and is supported through the generosity of individuals, businesses and organisations within our community. We are so very grateful to our sponsors for covering the majority of our running overhead costs. It is heart-breaking that over the past few months we have had to turn away 40 young people in crisis who have reached out to us for help.

We simply do not have the resources to safely take on new clients; one of our biggest challenges is finding funding towards securing the services of experienced, registered counsellors.

It is the expertise and the experience of our dedicated counsellors, in our special and sensitive area of working with youth in crisis, that is at the core of our success.

As a priority, we would like to raise funds to employ another, desperately needed, counsellor, to enable us to meet the demand for our critical service within our community.

More about us

Every journey starts with the first step. For some, this first step is easier to take than for others. For some of us it takes a feeling of being at the end of our road, before we have the courage to ask for help with the journey back from that ‘end’.

Youth in Transition is a group of skilled, dedicated and passionate people committed to supporting any young person, their family, and close friends, on that journey – for however long it may take.

The Trust’s core service involves a programme called the “Journey Back to Awesome” which is proving to be highly successful in addressing the needs of young people who are dealing with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Over the past three years we have helped hundreds of young people, aged 10-24, to get through their struggles and transition in to a life worth living.
