Hurunui Youth Programme

Who we are and what we do:

The Hurunui Youth Programme is underpinned by positive youth development framework and provides a strengths based Kaupapa (policy/approach) to supporting young people on their journey.

The Programme offers recreational activity, development programmes and leadership opportunities for young people (taiohi) aged 12-24 years across the Hurunui District. These are offered throughout the year in school, outside of school and during school holidays.

The Hurunui Youth Programme is based upon our Hurunui Youth Strategy which was designed in partnership with our local young people and reflects youth focused narrative on need and aspirations.
