Achieving more for our rangatahi – together
Our collective brings together youth support services across Tauranga to share ideas, collaborate and identify service gaps, thereby achieving greater outcomes.
We’ve built a network that connects our rangatahi to over 30 support services across Tauranga.
Established in 2017, Piritahi Youth Collective is a network of youth services dedicated to supporting rangatahi and whānau in greatest need, ensuring they have access to essential resources and care. Our network extends across Tauranga with member organisations located in Te Puke, Pāpāmoa, Mt Maunganui, Te Papa, Greerton, Welcome Bay and Ōtumoetai.
Our collective members also use this platform to identify service gaps, connect with other professionals, and create additional referral pathways. We actively welcome new members to our network - enquire today about how your organisation can get involved.
