NZ Chinese Youth Trust

The New Zealand Chinese Youth Trust is a non-profit charitable organization established in 1999 with the primary objective of empowering young Chinese individuals to maximize their potential and, ultimately,
contribute meaningfully to New Zealand society.

紐西蘭華人青少年基金會是一家於1999年成立的非營利慈善組織，其主要目標是幫助紐西蘭青少年華裔挖掘潛力，成為最好的自己，融入並成為對紐西蘭社會做貢獻的華裔紐西蘭人。

Background Information

Asians, particularly Chinese, constitute the fastest-growing ethnic population in New Zealand. People aged 5 to 25 years made up about 27% of the total Chinese population. In 2018, there were 67,000 Chinese aged 5 to 25 years living in NZ, 69% (or 46,000 people) lived in the Auckland region.
The increasing number of Chinese immigrants settling in New Zealand has increased the demand for high-quality youth services by the young Chinese generation. A significant portion of these youths is going through the critical stage of development, when establishing a personal identity and fostering a positive self-concept becomes paramount. During this developmental phase that offering guidance and providing opportunities for growth are crucial. We firmly believe that well-organized training programs and projects will foster positive youth development and also serve as preventive measures to steer youths away from undesirable paths.

背景資訊

亞洲人，尤其是華裔，在紐西蘭是人口增長最快的族群。5至25歲的年齡層佔了總體華裔人口的約27%。截至2018年，紐西蘭有67,000名年齡介於5至25歲的華裔居民，其中69%（即46,000人）居住在奧克蘭地區。
隨著越來越多的華裔移民定居在紐西蘭，年輕華裔一代對高質量的青少年服務的需求也不斷增加。這其中有相當比例的青少年正處於人生的重要發展階段，在這個階段，建立個人身份認知和培養積極的自我概念至關重要。在這個發展階段，提供指導和提供成長機會至關重要。我們堅信，組織良好的培訓計劃和項目將促進積極的青少年發展，也將作為預防措施，引導青少年遠離不良的生活軌跡。

Our Story

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to equipping young Chinese people with essential social, leadership, and life skills. We aim to facilitate their seamless integration into New Zealand society while nurturing and preserving their unique Chinese identity. In recognizing the challenges faced by young Chinese migrants and the language and cultural barriers experienced by their parents, we proactively take steps to bridge these gaps.

我們的故事

致力於為年輕華裔提供必要的社交、領導和生活技能是我們的核心使命。我們的目標是促進華裔青少年無縫地融入紐西蘭社會，同時培育和保護他們獨特的華裔身份。我們積極了解年輕華裔移民所面臨的挑戰，以及他們的父母所經歷的語言和文化障礙，並採取措施來彌合差距和隔閡。

Chinese Youth Development Programmes

Our programmes are designed to cultivate positive interests from an early age. Through engaging carefully planned activities, we promote local community involvement, creating a supportive network that builds self-esteem and fosters a sense of belonging. It’s more than a program. it’s a pathway to a brighter future.
Since its inception, the Trust has organized various activities for Chinese youths and their parents. Leadership workshops provide youths with the skills to group together and lead a team. Other activities include seminars on sex education, environmental protection, and water and road safety.
Parents can also attend seminars covering topics such as communication, alcohol and drug-related issues, and sex education within the family.
The main activities organized by the Trust include the St. John Youth Divisions located at Newmarket and Milford, the Milford Sea Scout Group, and the Youth Volunteers Training Projects. Various other workshops and courses are run regularly.

Beyond Youth: Supporting Families

We understand that successful youth development goes hand-in-hand with supporting parents and families. Our commitment extends beyond the individual, providing resources, guidance, and community connections. By fostering a supportive environment for parents, we enhance the overall well-being of the young Chinese generation and their families as they integrate into the local community.
