THE FUTURE STARTS WITH YOUth

Ka timata te anamata ki a KOUTOU rangatahi

Whether you're a young person finding your way or an organisation looking for fresh perspectives, the future depends on what we do together.

HEY, WELCOME TO YOUTH VOICES ACTION
At Youth Voices Action (YVA), we believe that every young person has something important to say, even if they don't know it yet.

We’re here to help them find their voice and show them how much they matter. But it doesn’t stop there. We also work with organisations that want to listen to these voices and make real change based on what young people care about.

FOR YOUth

Maybe you’re not sure where you fit in or what you have to offer. Maybe you’ve got ideas but don’t feel like anyone’s listening. We get it. At YVA, we’re here to help you figure out what matters to you and how to speak up. Whether you’re looking for a place to talk, connect, or get involved in your community, we’ve got you.







FOR ORGANISATIONS

If you’re working with youth, you already know they’ve got a lot to say but you might not be reaching the ones who aren’t already raising their hands. We connect you with young people who have untapped potential and perspectives you might be missing. Together, we make sure their voices are part of the conversation in ways that make a real difference in your programmes and in their lives.









When young people and organisations work together, we create stronger communities and better outcomes.
