Our community youth service, Whetū Marewa, is provided across the Rotorua district. We focus on improving the mental wellbeing of young people by working with taiohi and their whānau to build confidence, resilience and wellbeing.
I remember the first time I came here. It was fun, all of this was. If I could do this all over again I would and I wouldn’t change a thing. These are some brave youth here. Their future is in their hands..... and I know they will achieve their goals... the best team I have met. Thank you for being positive role models for us.

[The best thing was] the effective and regular communication from our sister's support worker, and the weekly updates were very helpful.

I enjoyed meeting the friendly and welcoming staff of the residence. There was an ambience of warmth and an atmosphere of acceptance. The meals were delicious and fresh. They were tasty and never disappointed. Conversations with the staff were easy and forthcoming with no judgement.
