KYS is a Youth One Stop Shop committed to providing the most effective services to meet the health and wellbeing needs of Kapiti youth. We're passionate about providing services which truly make a difference and that means not only working closely with youth but also with families and the community. Since opening in 1996 we have worked hard for excellence, while improving and extending the services we offer to our 5,200 young people. This figure demonstrates that we are meaningfully engaged with approximately 78% of Kapiti youth. (Census 2013 figures). This high level of engagement is the direct result of the consistent efforts of our highly qualified team in contributing to the positive development of healthy young people as they transition into adulthood. The KYS team is experienced in working with young people and responding to their needs in a manner that achieves results.
