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.

Yoo I'm Nic, I've been with Youthtown for a couple of years now and I'm a part of the #1 Youthtown Team, obviously, I'm talking about the Waikato team when I say that haha. I love my job because I get to engage with young ones and build really cool relationships and of course I get to run around and be a big kid!

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.
