Waikato

Kia Ora, I'm Joanna and I'm the Programmes Team Leader for Youthtown South Auckland, Waikato and Tauranga. I enjoy playing and coaching hockey in the outside world of work. Inside work, I enjoy creating new programmes for our young people to get the opportunity to express themselves and see success. Alongside this, I love working with our awesome people at Youthtown to allow them to develop as people and succeed!

Kia Ora, it’s Alex here from the Waikato team. I absolutely love sport and exercise, always have and always will. My background is mainly in rugby and boxing, but when given the opportunity I’ll pretty much play anything! I’m a big kid myself, and love trying to find the fun in everything I do.

Hey I’m Nic from the Waikato team, I never thought I would ever end up working with youth, but it really is such a cool area to be working in. Outside of work you’ll more than likely find me playing video games or messing around with cars. I’ve been playing video games for as long as I can remember, and I’ve made so many friends from all over the world all because of it.

Kia Ora, I’m Shavaughn with the Waikato team. Whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up – it was to work with children, I have achieved this through Youthtown. I very much enjoy working with our children and young people of New Zealand, learning more about myself and teaching what I can while building relationships and having fun! Outside of work you’ll either find me binge-watching Netflix and being crafty or spending time at the beach.
