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.

The Events Centre is getting sooo close to completion! We can’t wait to see the space come alive with young people showcasing their incredible creative talents.

As the building reaches its final stages, we’re ramping up our fundraising efforts to support the final fit-out. Every bit of support helps us bring this space to life for our community and provides young people with the valuable opportunity to develop skills, explore new passions and gain the confidence to pursue their dreams.
