The Youth Hub Trust Te Hurihanga o Rangatahi

Help us build Youth Hub Christchurch!

Canterbury

Youth Hub Christchurch aims to be a turning point in the lives of young people aged 10-25. The Hub is the first of its kind in New Zealand and is based in the heart of central Christchurch.

The Hub aims to deliver everything Christchurch's young people need to improve and maintain their mental health, from supported housing and health and support services to spaces for recreation and creativity.

Stage One of the Hub, which includes a supported housing wing with 22 bedrooms for youth at risk of homelessness, a wraparound services block where a dozen youth providers can work and an outdoor activities courtyard opened in October 2024.

An Events and Activities Centre will open in 2026.

We continue to fundraise to build another wing of supported housing and creative arts and garden spaces. These will open when funding is secured.

July e-newsletter - so much to celebrate! 30 July 2026

July has been a month of celebration and connection at Youth Hub Chch - and it's all thanks to supporters like you.

This month, we picked up another couple of exciting awards, welcomed a new team member (welcome, Solomon!), and saw fresh tenants join our hot desk spaces. It's been wonderful watching our community continue to grow and thrive together.

Our Event Centre has been buzzing - youth services and rangatahi have come together to run fun new classes and learning opportunities, Rerenga Awa celebrated their 40th Anniversary, we hosted youth conferences, and we farewelled Dr Claire Achmad, our Children's Commissioner.

Thanks to the Lotteries Commission, we still have free event hire hours available too - so if you know a group who could use the space, send them our way.

None of this happens without our community. Your support helps us keep the doors open for rangatahi across Christchurch, and we're incredibly grateful for it.

Want to help us keep going? Every donation makes a real difference to the young people who call Youth Hub Chch home.
