Happy Youth Week 2026! We’re celebrating the energy, resilience and potential of rangatahi in our community. At The 502 we believe that supporting rangatahi wellbeing goes beyond just physical health - it’s about nurturing mental, emotional, and social wellbeing too.
Youth Week is a reminder that every young person deserves to feel heard, supported and empowered. To all rangatahi - your voice matters, your story is important, and your future is full of possibility!
We kick-started Youth Week with 'Last Brain Standing' where rangatahi put their knowledge to the test with a Quiz and competed in some high-energy fun games to win cool prizes.
They also got to experience Atuatanga – an immersive VR game in te reo Māori that has been celebrated on a world stage! We want to mihi to creative director Wiremu Grace for his tautoko and support with this special treat.
We'll be continuing our Youth Week celebrations with 'Jam Sesh' tomorrow, Friday 22 May at Cobham Court from 12pm - 4pm. Be there for kai, games, giveaways, and some funky tunes courtesy of our amazing rangatahi!
