The Team at Tongan Youth Trust

The To’utupu Tonga Trust /Tongan Youth Trust was established in 1996 by a small group of practitioners from various occupations who have a passion for Tongan youth. The small group established a charitable trust with a focus on accommodating Tongan youth and families who found it difficult to settle effectively in the context of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Some of the projects the Trust has developed over the years include:

(i) Pacific Wardens to patrol with the police

(ii) Water Safety and Learner Licence Classes

(iii) Positive Parenting Training for migrated parents

(iv) Tongan Excellence Youth Awards

(v) NCEA Study Skills Support Programme

(vi) E.C.H.O programme

 

Our Goal: To equip Tongan youth with the skills attributes and education they need to lead a healthy, productive and rewarding life in New Zealand.

Our Services are delivered in a culturally sensitive way to meet the needs of Tongan youth and fall into 3 key categories:

  • Personal Development Services
  • Education Support Services
  • Essential Life Skills
