RainbowYOUTH fosters a safe, inclusive, whānau environment for queer and gender diverse youth and their wider community. We are a youth-led, youth-run organisation that values and respects the diversity and opinions of peoples everywhere. We are committed to honouring our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. RainbowYOUTH’s vision is that all young people thrive in Aotearoa, he waka eke noa (a waka we are all in together, without exception). Our mission is to create social change by providing information, advocacy and support for queer, gender diverse and intersex young people, their friends, whānau and wider communities.

With over half of our annual income coming from donations and fundraising, we know our salary bands can’t compare to larger charities and organisations. Regardless, we’re committed to providing a workplace that is flexible, accessible and meets the needs of all of our team members.  All our staff members are entitled to the following: 

• A governance and leadership that prioritises the health and wellbeing of our staff. 

• Flexibility of hours during the day 

• Remote working options

• Wellness leave

• A monthly wellbeing allowance

• Ongoing training, supervision and development
