About us
Youthline is a collection of organisations that work together to make sure young people are able to get the best support, when they need it. We work with young people, their familes and those supporting young people. Our organisations are made up of volunteer and paid staff members - and we have centres based across the country. We were proudly established in 1970 by a group of people who realised that there were not a lot of options for young people needing to access help and development services. We understand that sometimes it can be difficult asking for support. It can also be difficult working out who to contact for what. To make sure it's as easy as possible to use our services, and other services who work with young people, we make sure that we have good relationships across the country with other providers so that we can point you in the direction of local services.

- It was an absolute pleasure hosting Domino's support office team at our Owen’s Road centre recently. For over a decade Domino’s have been a valued partner of ours. Domino’s generous contributions through their registered charity, Minds & Meals, helps fund our national Helpline. Further to this, Domino’s Minds & Meals also provides Youthline with over 1000 pizza vouchers annually which helps support our events and youth development programmes across the country. We are incredibly grateful for Domino’s Minds & Meals enduring commitment to the mental wellbeing of the young people of Aotearoa. Ka pai Domino’s! #youthlinenz
- We are thrilled to share that our Principal Partner, ASB Bank, has won the Excellence in Social Purpose Marketing award at the 2024 YouTube NZ Marketing Awards! This isn’t just any win; it’s a celebration of our amazing partnership and the way we work together to support the mental health of our young people. Because of this partnership, ASB has helped raise awareness of our Helpline and expanded it overnight to be available 24/7. Yep, that means whenever rangatahi need someone to talk to, we’ve got their back, day or night. We couldn’t be more delighted that ASB’s efforts and good work has been recognised with another big award win. And let's not forget "Bagels by BENEE" - the 'world's most calming song' that's been making waves globally. That collaboration with BENEE has received global awards and recognition for its innovation and impact, but the ASB project team say this latest recognition here in Aotearoa is the one they are most proud of. Thank you ASB for your incredible mahi and support. We’re beyond proud to be in this together, making a difference for our rangatahi.
