Whakatipu Youth Trust

Whakatipu Youth Trust is a not-for-profit organisation that works alongside young people aged 10-24 to ensure rangitahi have the skills, self-worth, well-being, resilience, and support they need to reach their full potential. Our Kaupapa is to create safe environments, trusted relationships, and opportunities to empower our youth to live purposeful and meaningful lives.

We provide mild to moderate mental health services such as counseling, and social work. WYT provides youth mentoring, group programs, school holiday activities, and other positive youth development opportunities throughout the Queenstown Central Lakes Region.
