CONNECT GROUPS


 

About

 

 Our Connect Group is created specifically with young people in mind.

We run two weekly sessions:

  • Upper Hutt Connect Group – Mondays, 3:00–5:00pm

  • Lower Hutt Connect Group – Thursdays, 3:00–5:30pm

These sessions are open to rangatahi aged 13–18 years (high school age). They’re drop-in style and include a range of consistent activities like board games, colouring and painting, trivia quizzes, and more. These spaces will be hosted by our Engagement Services staff.

If you’re over 18 and still want to be involved, we welcome you to join us as a Tuakana (peer supporter/mentor) which enables you to still be connected. This is a voluntary role with a written job description focused on supporting attendees, building appropriate connections and clear boundaries.

Please note: We’ll no longer be providing dinner, but there will be snacks available during each session. We’re also no longer able to offer rides home, so please make sure you’ve got your transport sorted.
