YouthLaw Aotearoa is a free community law centre for children and young people nationwide. They provide free legal services to anyone aged under 25 who are unable to access legal help elsewhere, or those acting on their behalf. They're the only organisation operating across NZ where children and young people can access free legal services just for them.
They provide four main services to children and young people:
-
Legal advice via 0800 UTHLAW (884 529) advice line.
-
Legal information on their website and with other resources.
-
Education sessions for young people and those who work with them. To book an education session call them.

They work to make law changes that will improve access to justice for children and young people.
