The Young Workers' Resource Centre (YWRC) is dedicated to supporting rangitahi through meaningful employment experiences through employment education workshops.

Founded on 2nd September 1993, our primary objective is to provide education, information and assistance to young people about workplace issues. Our vision is for young people to be empowered in the workplace in a way that enhances well-being, fosters understanding and creates positive change in workplace relationships.

We also deliver workshops on employment-related unit standards under NZQA. Our service area encompasses the greater Waikato, King Country, Bay of Plenty and Coromandel regions.

The YWRC is a not-for-profit organisation. This means that we would provide our services for free if it weren't for the cost of running and office, and getting to the remote locations of some of the students we wish to visit. It also means that we are dependent solely on the support of community funders, sponsors, and donations to keep the Centre up and running. The way we see it, a cup of coffee costs around $5 bucks a pop. If you could do without a coffee for one afternoon a week, and donate that 5er to us instead, you save your central nervous system a dose of the caffeine, and you do something really worth while with that five dollars instead.
