VILLAGE COLLECTIVE HUB

A welcoming ‘third space’ for young people to learn, grow, connect, and rest

The Village Collective Hub, located in the heart of South Auckland – Manukau, is an integral part of the Youth One Stop Shop (YOSS) model. This model provides accessible, youth-centered, holistic services, including health, mental health, and social support, all under one roof. Our Hub offers a safe, culturally grounded environment where talavou from all backgrounds – including Maori, Pasifika, disabled, rainbow, and gender-diverse youth – can congregate, engage, and building meaningful connections.

Key Features of the Hub include:

Pataka Kai (Community Pantry): A free panty offering home essentials to anyone in need, supported by Foodstuffs North Island. This initiative aligns with the Pataka Kai movement, which fosters community sharing and support without judgement.
Community & Tech Space: Areas to connect, work, or hire laptops if you don’t have your own device, ensuring access to technology for all.
Talanoa Room: A small group meeting and gathering space for open conversations and community building.
1:1 Rooms – Nafanua, Toko, Alofa: Private consultation and talanoa spaces for personal support and guidance.
Free Wifi: Across the entire building to support learning, work, and connection.

The Hub is more than just a physical space; it is a platform for learning, growth, and community-led initiatives that strengthen wellbeing, build skills, and nurture meaningful connections. By providing a ‘third space’ – a place outside of home and school – young people have the opportunity to relax, reflect, and recharge in a supportive environment.
