Unleashing potential in young people to Live Life Wide Open
So many young people do not believe in their potential! We do. Youth Encounter provides a safe and supportive space where young people can grow in confidence, find purpose, and build resilience.
Our therapeutic, activity-based programs empower them to unleash their potential, helping them live life wide open as resilient, purpose-driven individuals.
Youth Encounter is a vibrant community dedicated to empowering the youth of Aotearoa NZ to live life wide open!
