YP/YPP -YOUTH PAYMENT/YOUNG PARENT PAYMENT 

The aim of the YP (Youth Payment: 16-18), YPP (Young Parent Payment: 16-20) Service is to engage and support eligible 16-20 year olds who are no longer living at home due to break down in the home (YP) or who are young teenage parents (YPP). They are supported to achieve improved well-being through sustained education, training or employment outcomes and meet obligations associated with financial support. This will contribute to them achieving long term independence reducing the risk of long-term benefit dependency.

This is a MSD funded programme and participants must meet certain criteria.  If interested please email mail@springboard.org.nz to request a referral form.
