Palmerston North Community Programmes

Youthline Central North Island offers a wide range of programmes that you can get involved in.

These can be offered through our centres, within schools and other community settings. We work with young people to build leadership, communication and specific skills to help navigate life. They are also a great way to meet like-minded young people and have fun.

After School Programmes

Wednesday

Each Wednesday is one or two activities of sport, cooking or arts and crafts which provide both physical and cognitive-based curriculum.

These programmes are for 8 to 12 year olds
Located at the Kelvin Grove Community Hall on Kaimanawa Street
3:00pm to 5:00pm

Sport
Participants are involved in fun team sports and cognitively challenging games. These sessions allow children the ability to grow in confidence as they are actively encouraged to give all activities ago.

Cooking programme
Participants work in supervised teams of five to eight children. This programme helps to develop: skills in food preparation, measuring ingredients, reading recipes, food value, and basic hygiene.

Arts and Crafts
Programme holds the philosophy that art should be meaningful for the participant. The participant should be proud of their individual creativity.

End of Term
At terms end, we invite parents/caregivers of those who participated in the programmes to share a meal with leaders. This provides an opportunity to strengthen links and to discuss any issues they might have. We can also provide information and links to agencies that could offer additional or more relevant support.

Tuesday

Each Tuesday we provide an arts and crafts based programme at Ross Intermediate for students of the school.

Thursday

Each Thursday we provide an arts and crafts based programme at Roslyn Library.

Each session at our after school programmes also includes a brief discussion or activity around a life issue, such as self-esteem, disability, bullying, relationships or anger.
