For nearly 30 years, Village Collective has worked alongside Pasifika communities - empowering young people and their families with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make informed decisions about their health, while navigating life with cultural pride and resilience.
We support talavou (youth) from across our diverse communities, including Maori, Pacific, disabled, rainbow, and gender-diverse young people - ensuring every voice is heard and every pathway to wellbeing is respected and valued.
Located in the heart of South Auckland in Manukau, the Village Collective Clinic is led by Pasifika clinicians who combine clinical expertise with deep cultural knowledge. The clinic provides a safe, culturally responsive space where young people can access wraparound support - from healthcare and mentoring to education, leadership, and employment opportunities.
Our holistic approach nurtures, physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing, with services designed and delivered by Pasifika, for Pasifika.
Guided by the belief that prevention is better than cure, our work draws on the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion - building individual skills, strengthening community action, creating supportive environments, shaping healthy public policy, and reorienting health services.
While our roots are in Sexual Reproductive Health, our mission has grown to embrace the wider determinants of wellbeing. Today, we deliver holistic services - including mental health support, mentoring, leadership development, healthy relationships, and cultural connection - ensuring talavou thrive in every aspect of life.
