Youthtown's Magic Story
Youthtown's purpose is simple — it's to inspire young people to realize their potential through physical, social and creative experiences. Helping New Zealand's youth to succeed and flourish is what drives our organisation and motivates our team.
Since first opening our doors as Boys Town in 1932, we've grown and evolved into one of New Zealand's leading youth organisations. We're highly regarded for the services, programmes and events we offer.
Whether out on the water, in an art studio or on the basketball court, each of our programmes is designed to build self-esteem and confidence through participation.
At Youthtown we believe young people are the future of our country and there's no more important task than developing the next generation. That's why we're committed to helping all young Kiwis feel a sense pride, respect and success
