Referral Process

The best way to find out how we can help is to give us a call on 06 355 5906, come in and see us or contact us online today. YOSS also offers a range of life skills programmes for 10-17 year olds and specific services for youth offenders.

Our youth work services have the following service exclusions: sexual abuse, intellectual disability, learning difficulties and severe mental health. Our Youth Services are specifically for young people who live in Palmerston North.

If you would like to make a formal referral to YOSS, please complete the form below and email to info@yoss.org.nz.

The advantage of a formal referral is that we are able to track them and follow-up young people who may not be able to self present. Please also let us know if you're able to do a 'warm handover', which means that you'll bring the young person (and their family or support person), with them to YOSS for an initial meet and greet session (kanohi ki te kanohi). Please also let us know if the young person is aware that this could occur.
