A HUGE Thanks to Z Energy New Brighton for choosing Youth Alive Trust to be one of their community projects in the recent Good in the Hood campaign. Thanks to all our supporters who placed over 2,400 orange tokens into our box and helped us raise $782 towards the cost of our camps – we’re feeling the community love

For more information, including frequently asked Q & A’s: CLICK ON THIS LINK

If you need petrol or diesel in the month of May – then consider filling up at Z New Brighton, and putting your Orange Token into the Youth Alive Trust box!!

We’re one of the four groups being supported through Z Energy’s Good in the Hood campaign, which means we’ll get a share of $4,000 towards our programme running costs – depending on how many votes we get!  Every donation counts – so maybe you’d even consider becoming a ‘Friend of Youth Alive Trust’, by making a regular donation.  More info at this link…

We’re very pleased to be hosting a trainee youth counsellor two afternoons per week, free of charge, with a focus on 10 – 18 year olds.

Parenting Teens and Tweens is one of the hardest jobs in the world! It doesn’t come with a manual but there are a few hints and tips you can pick up, which may make the job a bit easier for everyone.
