The Y Central South Island has deep roots – stretching back to 1917 – and wide community connections.

Our mission is to inspire and connect communities by Investing in the Next Generation. We do this through a range of mostly free programmes and services in the areas of education, driving licence support, employment pathways and support to employment, youth work, and youth development.

While a key focus is young people, each year we work alongside nearly 6300 families, students, and programme participants of all ages throughout the South Canterbury region – testament to our success in growing our community impact. Our mahi can be summed up as “Whakamana takata, whakamana taiohi – Through empowering the mana of people, we empower the mana of youth.
