Our Youth

Al Hijaz Youth is a welcoming and inclusive youth initiative that provides young people from all cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds with a safe environment to connect, learn, and grow. Based in Mt Roskill and serving the wider Auckland community, our programme focuses on developing positive character, leadership, confidence, community spirit, and a sense of belonging through meaningful engagement and mentorship.

​

Our youth gather regularly through weekly programmes and fortnightly activities designed to encourage friendship, teamwork, personal development, and positive social interaction. Activities include table tennis, football, pool and snooker, community gatherings, educational sessions, mentorship opportunities, and youth car meets that bring together young people with shared interests in a positive and respectful environment. These programmes help build lasting relationships, strengthen community connections, and provide constructive alternatives that keep youth engaged and connected.

​

At Al Hijaz, we believe young people thrive when they feel valued, supported, and included. Our goal is to help nurture a generation of confident, respectful, and community-minded young people who contribute positively to their families, communities, and New Zealand society. We welcome all youth regardless of background and continue to create opportunities that promote wellbeing, inclusion, leadership, and meaningful community participation.
