About PACT
Papatoetoe Adolescent Christian Trust has been working with young people in the local schools and community for nearly 30 years. Our vision is to support rangatahi to soar. We are a unique faith based youth organisation as we work with at risk young people from 6 through to 18 both in local schools and in our own programmes that we run from our community building.
The DNA of the organisation has always been based on the Christian faith, but our services are available to youth (and their families) of any religion or ethnicity. For many PACT has long been more than just a local community organisation but a place where whanaungatanga (a family-like connection) is created.
One of our six values is FUN so as well as being a challenging, supportive team environment we also like to have fun as a team and with our young people.
