Kahu Youth Trust

Kahu Youth Trust is an integral part of the Upper Clutha, and we’re here to help you. We’ve been helping young people like you in the community for over 15 years: involving you in productive learning and fun activities and programmes so you can connect to the wider community and continue to build life skills, increase self-esteem and grow in your confidence.

For parents, guardians and community partners, members of our team are usually at the Crib from 10am weekdays, but because of preparation for activities and work elsewhere in the community, it pays to call us first.
