About Youthtown Hillcrest / Before & After School Care & Holiday Programme Auckland North Shore
Where We've Come From
Youthtown is a proud and uniquely Kiwi institution since 1932. Wow, we're ninety years old!!!
Back then, the Great Depression was in full swing. With a wave of mass unemployment spreading across Aotearoa New Zealand, protests and riots erupted as the frustration of not being able to provide and progress took its toll on a desperate workforce and its dependents.
Amidst the backdrop of this extraordinary time, a small boxing gym opened in Parnell, Auckland. Designed to get boys off the street and into learning a new skill, 'Boystown' was a partnership between the Police and community business folk.
As the years passed, that small gym turned into an iconic sports and leisure facility on Nelson Street: a second home to many young people across the city. Around the same time, Boystown management sensibly recognised that a name change would mirror this universal sense of belonging their clientele were feeling about the place, growing with the times to become ‘Youthtown’. From this launchpad, Youthtown spaces opened across the North and South Islands to extend the experience to more communities. This is where we are at today.
Though our Nelson Street home is sadly now no more, some of the original programme staff from those days still work nationally to help every new Youthtown team member understand our history, memories and impact as we create each new programme space for children and young people across our many communities.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My 2 girls have been here over the school holidays. I felt really anxious as a mum dropping them off. I've always been there in the school holidays with being self employed. But I had no need to worry they have loved every minute made new friends and the staff and Rachel the manager is awesome.Learning values making cakes pizza playing games having fun. See you in the summer thank you Hillcrest Youthtown xx
