At The Y Hawke’s Bay, we’re all about supporting rangatahi to grow in confidence, build connections, and have their voices heard. Our youth development programmes are fun, inclusive, and shaped by young people themselves.

Youth Meets:

Youth Meets run every Tuesday and Thursday, 5.00pm–7.00pm, at The Y and are free for young people aged 12–15 years. These sessions are a relaxed, welcoming space to hang out, try new things, and connect with others.

Each session includes:

• Youth-led activities and discussions

• A safe, supportive, and inclusive environment

• Free kai & activities 

• Transport support if needed

Thanks to the support of Sport Hawke’s Bay, we’re also able to offer a range of awesome active experiences throughout the year, including golf, swimming, trampolining, and boxing.

To top it all off, we finish the year with an end-of-year camp, celebrating the incredible mahi, growth, and achievements of our rangatahi.
