“Youth Encounter has supported me by giving me courage to live my God-given potential and meeting good people and being a part of the Encounter family. Since joining Youth Encounter I feel happy about myself and don't feel like I have to prove myself to people.” Matthys

“The boys from last year’s (Dirt Bike Therapy) programme have all gone into mahi, one is into truck driving so got his license and gone into that industry. Another really likes gardening, so has gone into agriculture. So all our kids from last year are either employed or gone onto courses.”
- Pauline Craven, tutor at Apiti Hou Alternative Education
Huge thanks to our sponsors and funding bodies who have been supporting NZ youth this past year!
