Welcome to TYLA Youth Development Trust
TYLA works within local communities in New Zealand to deliver tailor-made programmes that help inspire ‘at risk' youth to turn their lives around.
Who we are
The TYLA Youth Development Trust was established in 1996 to identify a better means of reducing the number of young offenders in New Zealand and providing support and choices to the young people 'at risk ' of offending.
Our ambition is to identify ‘at risk' youth, who are on a pathway to crime, and to intervene before their wayward journeys take them too far.
TYLA currently has two programmes in place: Otara and Auckland Central West. The TYLA Trust, in conjunction with the Government, local community and New Zealand Police, is now looking to expand its programmes into more communities.
