Youthline Wellington's Personal Development Programme

Youthline Wellington offers an empowering 2-week Personal Development Programme (PDP) that concludes with a weekend residential camp. The kaupapa of our PDP is to develop the capacity of participants to grow personally and within team environments through skills, knowledge, experience, shared disclosures and self reflection.

This programme is currently only available as training for our volunteers. However, we hope to make this available to anyone wanting personal development training in the future. If you would like to express your interest for our PDP programme but do not wish to become a volunteer, contact us!

Events

Youthline Wellington's Street Appeal 2021

Our Annual Street Appeal is Youthline's biggest fundraising event of the year! Each year, amazing volunteers take to the streets to collect donations from their community. In 2020, Youthline Wellington held their first ever online 'Digital Appeal' due to COVID-19's impact on Aotearoa. This paved way for future ways of fundraising for Youthline Wellington.

This year, our Street Appeal was on Wednesday 12th May 2021, from 7am - 6pm, during Youth Week (8th May - 16th May). During this week, we once again ran a Digital Appeal as well as our Street Appeal.
If you would like to donate to Youthline Wellington but missed seeing our collectors out on the streets, please visit: https://givealittle.co.nz/org/ylwgtn

We will advise you once we confirm a Street Appeal date for 2022.
