The Youth Impact Foundation delivers evidence-based preventative mental health and wellbeing programmes across camps, programmes, and digital formats. These are offered in schools, communities, and families, with subsidised access for people experiencing disadvantage.

Reducing Duplication

Amplifying Impact

The Youth Impact Foundation grows its impact by consolidating youth charities, which increases affordability and access to high-quality, life-changing mental health programmes for youth.

In the past year we partnered with 1098 schools, provided professional development for over 250 teachers and delivered 996 programmes or events programmes/events, impacting 162,350 young people

Critically, our programmes reached young people facing barriers to accessing support from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South.

Over 50% of all programme participants come from our three priority cohort focus areas. We increase equity and access for young people in these cohorts through financial support of their participation, their schools participation and where appropriate relevant travel costs. This financial support comes from one of our three scholarship funds directly addressing each cohort.
