Upper Hutt

Hi I'm Lauren, I am the Team Leader for Youthtown Upper Hutt. I enjoy being active, playing sports and being outdoors. Youthtown has provided me with an opportunity to continue to develop and grow myself and love that we have the opportunity to make the same impact on so many young people in our communities. 

Talofa my name is Kasesa. I am a Programme Lead here in Wellington, Upper Hutt. We are running our new youth space that has been open since 2021. I'm passionate about seeing young people flourish and be comfortable in their own skin, learning about who they are and what their hopes and dreams are. I love spending time with my family and also dabbling in my other major passion which is acting :) 

I am an easy going, fun seeking person. My desire is and will always see growth in the youth in my community. Growing up, I admired and looked up to the staff at Youthtown when I was a participant in the OSCAR programme and also being apart of the youth squad in my teens. I learnt organisation, understanding of mental health and many more helpful things throughout my time as a teenager, thanks to Youthtown. Starting to work for the company when I turned 16, I have grown and matured as a leader in my position and learned so much along the way.
