Youthline Otago

Youthline has been providing youth development and support services to young people throughout New Zealand for 49 years. A charitable organisation supported by a dedicated group of volunteers, Youthline also operates a 24/7 helpline offering vital support for young people in need. The importance of Youthline's work was recognised by the voting public in this year's Million Dollar Mission. The $10,000 of funding means that more young people in West Auckland will be able to access help at the time they need it most. 'Nowadays digital platforms are the key means of connecting with young people,' advises Youthline's Briana Hill.
