ABOUT US
What is the YCDT
The Youth and Community Development Trust, established in 2010, is passionate about seeing our young people reach their full-potential. Through collaboration with other like-minded agencies, the YCDT places quality youth workers into our local community.
What is the need
Negotiating life as a young person is progressively challenging. In addition to the significant physical and emotional changes experienced, the culture of our young people is fast becoming isolated from the adult world.
Our vision:
To see all young people in our wider community reach their full all-round potential.
What we do
Through collaboration with Young Life New Zealand Trust and other agencies, the YCDT places quality youth workers in our local colleges and wider community.
