Youthline Central North Island 

​While Central North Island is best known for the youth helpline, the organisation is also greatly involved in the development of the community. We get behind young people, their friends and whanau and try our best to reach out by providing other services such as: seminars at schools, presentations, after-school and holiday programmes, face-to-face mentoring and support programs.

Helpline

Our helpline networks nine independent Youthline’s together to provide a 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, free service.
​
This allows our small local organisation of volunteers to help provide a 24-hour helpline for young people.

We retain our independence and local community focus, and, by combining the background IT and service procedures, we make a far greater impact.
