Social Groups
Wellington | Te-Whanganui-a-Tara
Our social groups are smoke, alcohol & drug free spaces where young people can connect with one another in a friendly, supportive and inclusive environment. Each of our groups are youth-led and hosted by trained facilitators. Our groups aren't just for “out” queer and gender diverse youth - if you're unsure about your identity, this is just as much your space as it is ours!

New faces are always welcome! Choose which group(s) you'd like to go to, follow their social media and check out our social groups calendar. Then, show up at their next session, and our facilitators will take you under their wing and welcome you into the space! Parents and caregivers can drop off a young person at a group but aren't allowed to attend. This is so we can protect our young peoples' safety and privacy.
Any questions about our groups, please email Wellington@ry.org.nz
