Youth Services
Deaf Aotearoa’s Youth service develops the potential of Deaf and hard-of-hearing youth as individuals and as a group, by providing:
- a transition programme to guide young people into work or study
- a youth intern programme
- activities to develop strong Deaf identities and leadership skills.
NZSL in schools – Youth Project
