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.

Our HQ in Wānaka is “the Crib”

Our base, and the place where many of our programmes and activities are delivered, is called “the Crib”. It’s close to the centre of Wānaka.

The drop-in hours at the Crib (during term time only) are usually:

Monday – closed
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday – 3:00pm – 6:00pm
Friday – 3:00pm – 10:00pm
Saturday – 3:00pm – 10:00pm
Sunday – closed

We’re always keen to see young people from the area who are looking for something to do. We’ve got plenty of ideas …

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

A full range of programmes, activities, events.
