Youth Quest works - 5 years of proven success in transforming 600+ young at risk boys
“From my perspective, sitting as a Judge in Porirua, I have observed the changes in the young offenders appearing before court who have completed the Youth Quest Programme ... I know it works ... backed up by a long-term mentoring programme with the aim of integrating the young people back into the community ... In this way, the work of the Youth Quest is absolutely in line with internationally recognized best practice”
Judge Abdrew Becroft, May 2008
“As a result of the Youth Quest programme and the success of the majority of the youth who have graduated from the course, we have seen a gradual decline in youth crime in Kapiti”
Senior Constable Peter Swann, Kapiti Youth Aid
“The heart and Soul of Youth Quest
is fi lled with such love and
compassion. ... through your
involvement with ‘G’ and since since
leaving Youth Quest this young boy
has grown so much that his whole life has been turned around”

“You all just blow me away with the
support you provided for ‘M’ today,
he is blown away too.
He is really excited about
spending time with you all, and he
said he can’t believe the day turned
out as it did. He can’t believe you
guys are there for him. He wants to
be like you.”
M. Bothamley, WINZ
“We are convinced, by experience, that Youth Quest provides an absolutely vital opportunity for some of our young men, some in clear need of new life options, to try new life options and positive directions. We are also confident in the structure and management capacity of Youth Quest to deliver programmes that will have significant community benefit”
