Support the Work that Supports Our Youth
Awhi our Mahi is Whakatipu Youth Trust’s community giving programme for anyone who wants to back the work we do with young people across the Wakatipu Basin.
Your support helps us provide free, youth-friendly services including counselling, mentoring, life skills, social work, rainbow youth spaces, school engagement, and more. We’re working toward becoming a full Youth One-Stop Shop (YOSS), so every young person has access to the support they need — under one roof, no matter what they’re going through.
There are many ways to contribute: from one-off donations and payroll giving to volunteering, giving circles, or even leaving a bequest. No matter how you give, you’re helping us create a community where rangatahi can truly thrive.
Our Vision & Mission
At Whakatipu Youth Trust, we empower young people with the skills, self-worth, resilience, and support they need to reach their full potential. Through resources, opportunities, challenges, and safe environments, we foster trusted relationships that help youth lead positive, healthy lives within their community.
