Together, we can change the future for young people.
Your support means free healthcare, wellbeing, and life opportunities for rangatahi across Ōtautahi and Selwyn.
Between the ages of 10 and 24, young people are going through significant change – physically, mentally, and socially. It’s a time of huge opportunity, but also real challenges. When rangatahi have access to the right support at the right time, it sets them up for a healthier, more connected future.
At Te Tahi Youth, we provide that support every single day. But we can’t do it alone. As a not-for-profit, our mahi depends on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners who share our belief that every young person deserves the chance to thrive.
When you invest in rangatahi, the ripple effects are powerful. You’re not just supporting one young person, you’re strengthening whānau, communities, and the future of our region.

Your support makes all the difference.
Ways you can support our mahi.
Donate: Your gift directly funds free healthcare, counselling, youth work, and employment support for young people who otherwise might miss out.
Fundraise for us: From non-uniform days and bake sales to office challenges and community collections, every effort counts. Rally your school, workplace, or whānau to raise funds and help support youth wellbeing.
Donate goods: We gratefully accept donations of essential items such as: hygiene products (toothpaste, deodorant, soap, shampoo, etc.), sanitary products (pads, tampons, menstrual cups), non-perishable food (canned goods, rice, pasta, snacks, etc.). These items go directly to rangatahi who need extra support. If you’d like to donate, get in touch with us to arrange a time for collection / drop off.
Leave a gift in your Will: A bequest is a powerful way to create a legacy of care. It doesn’t cost anything during your lifetime, but it ensures that future generations of rangatahi continue to have the support they need.
Become a regular giver: Regular gifts provide stable, reliable funding so we can plan ahead and meet the growing needs of young people.
Partner with us: We work with businesses and organisations that want to make a meaningful impact. Whether through financial support, in-kind contributions, or shared projects, your partnership helps us provide life-changing services.
Your support is what keeps us running.
