Youthline. Changing Lives. Changing Communities.

Youthline Wellington provides a free, confidential and non-judgemental phone and text counselling service to young people. We’re a team of trained volunteers committed to supporting young people in our communities.

People call Youthline to talk about anything and everything. We’re there to listen and help young people to talk about what’s going on – to help find their own solutions.

Morgan, New Zealand Lottery Grants Board, Joe Aspell Trust, Winton and Margaret Bear Charitable Trust, Thomas George Macarthy Trust, Community Organisation Grants Scheme, Vavasour Charitable Trust Board, Eva Doucas Charitable Trust (Eva’s Attic) and Rotary Club of Harbour City Wellington.
