Rainbow Youth is an Auckland based charitable organization which provides support and services to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trasgender, Takataapui, Fa'afafine, intersex and queer identified youth as well as education and information to the general community.

Rainbow Youth is based in central Auckland and is managed by an executive board made up of 8 young people. We have a drop-in center on K rd open between 10 and 5.30 on weekdays, where members can relax, hang out, get information and chat to the wonderful and knowledgeable staff. We also go into schools in the Auckland area, running workshops on sexual and gender diversity, homophobia, and sexual health.

We run a number of great social/support groups which are open to queer youth and are run by friendly and approachable youth facilitators:
Queer4Shore
Q4S starting up again in August 2009!! North Shore Group.. Casual and informal social group for queer youth (under 27’s). A great way to meet new people or catch up with friends, held in a cafe in Takapuna, every second Friday 3.30pm - 5pm, starting again. Email Duncan or Brad for more details at queer4shore(@)rainbowyouth.or
