Life can throw some curveballs, and we all need people around us to help lift us up – someone who believes in us, encourages us, and celebrates our wins.

Youth Service Coaches play a key role in being that support for the young people they work with every day. At CYC Trust, our coaches dedicate time to listen, help young people set goals for their future, and provide guidance as they work to achieve them. Whether it’s getting a driver’s license, finding a job, pursuing education, or improving well-being, Youth Service Coaches are there every step of the way.
“I have had the privilege of working alongside the fabulous team at Coast Youth Community Trust for the last 12 months. When it comes to working with rangatahi (young people), it requires patience, aroha (love), trust and consistency. The team at CYC Trust are flawless in their service delivery and are constantly striving for improved outcomes for our rangatahi. Working together in the community is key and the joint collaboration of engaging with the team at CYC has proved to be a huge success for all involved.
Together, we have been able to create a simple, tailored referral process for our local rangatahi who are experiencing mental health challenges and needing support with finding employment. The holistic and lifestyle focused support from the Youth Service Team has been able to transition into multiple successful employment outcomes with Ember Employment. We look forward to working with CYC Trust again in 2024 and we are so incredibly lucky to have such a dynamic team in the community.”
