Selwyn Wairewa Youth Trust is committed to creating a healthy and vibrant youth culture in Selwyn and Wairewa. We do this by supporting young people, developing leaders and creating safe spaces.
Friends of SWYT If you share our passion for young people in Selwyn and Wairewa then we invite you to join us in our mission. Friends of the Trust provide support through prayer, making regular / one-off donations or volunteering at SWYT events / fundraising efforts. You can also sign up to our semi-regular newsletter to receive updates and information on upcoming events and prayer requests.
