Raise up n Represent

‘Raise up’ is a youth programme that has been designed to give youth a safe and healthy environment in which to relax and socialise.

The aim is to support youth, to encourage personal ownership and leadership, and to foster a sense of pride and respect for themselves and the communities in which they live.

We offer a unique opportunity in our Raise up Crew to be a part of a group that organises and runs activities and events for other young people. This group made up of two young people selected from each secondary school and is mentored and facilitated by a YMCA staff person.

Events and workshops are offered to Southland youth aged 13-18 years throughout the year, and vary from Skate boarding & Rock Climbing to Interschool Socials and large scale Youth Jams.
