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! |
