Creating and providing resources, education, information and other relevant tools which engage youth to effectively set up and maintain queer straight alliances/diversity groups in their schools and take other actions to make their schools safer.
Providing professional development training for schools, organisations, government agencies, workplaces and businesses wanting to upskill on rainbow inclusion.
Providing opportunities for young people to connect, gain skills and build capacity through running regular regional and national hui.
Supporting young people and schools all over NZ in starting, strengthening, and sustaining QSAs and build the capacity of QSAs to:
1. create a space where students can socialise in a safe environment
2. provide support for students who might be facing issues such as bullying
3.spread awareness about homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, gender identity and sexual orientation issues within the school.
Running and supporting awareness campaigns like Out on the Shelves, the Day of Silence and Pink Shirt Day.
What we would like to do and what we can do are unfortunately different lists, due to not being a government-funded organisation! Help us sustain and expand our work by making a donation.
Check back soon for more on where we’re headed! Head over to our projects page to learn more about some of the projects we’re currently working on.

Kicked off in 2014 by RainbowYOUTH, the I’m Local project focuses on contacting high schools, medical centres, hospitals, libraries, marae and community centres in more rural or isolated area of Aotearoa and supplying them with free resources about gender and sexuality. If your organisation wants to join the I’m Local project for free resources, head here!

Evolve is One Stop Shop in Wellington for young people aged 10-24
We offer a range of services, activities and events all linked up together to make it as easy as possible for young people to get support when they need it.
Everything is FREE and confidential. We won’t tell anyone your business unless we are concerned about your safety or the safety of someone else.
Services include general, sexual and mental healthcare, counselling, social support and youth development activities and groups. There are more details to the left, and our facebook page is a good place to get regular updates.
Evolve is part of a network of Youth One Stop Shops around the country (NYOSS). We run independently and offer different combinations of services, but have a common mission to enhance the health, development and well being of young people in New Zealand. We work from a youth development model that emphasises the importance of young people’s connections to their communities, families, schools and peers. We have a focus on fostering resilience and supporting young people to make positive decisions.
