Zeal helped me grow from a young person to an adult. Helping me learn and grow as a person
Zeal makes me feel supported, loved, validated, comfortable and no matter what kind of feeling you are experiencing at that moment, there will always be someone to be there for you through it
Zeal to me is definitely a second home, it's a place where everyone is welcome and where we can all get along and be ourselves in a really safe environment
Zeal is a place where everyone can have some time away from their stressful life
The best place to hangout for youth to get away from any drama or problems they may be dealing with
They are all so kind and caring whilst still feeling relatable. They are easy to talk to and vibe with. Making it easy to feel included and welcome
They always show that they are supportive and non-judgmental, and come to talk to us when we're at Zeal
I have changed because when I am upset instead of feeling alone I know I have a supportive community behind me, unlike before when I just felt purely alone
The atmosphere is so cool there are plenty of opportunities and things to do so you won’t be bored
I have grown more confident in an array of different abilities, such as graphic design. Also, I have gained confidence in attempting and taking part in things I hadn't had the chance to do before
I used to struggle with my ADHD and anger and trust issues but I no longer have this problem and I’m generally a happier person
Impact across 5 regions and online
The aroha of our key partners has enabled Zeal to extend manaakitanga and whanaungatanga to young people through over 65,000 points of connection in FY21.

Donate a device
Bridge the digital inequality gap in West Auckland by donating your used PC laptops or desktops. We’re running programmes where rangatahi (young people) learn to refurbish a device and keep it.
We’re looking for laptops and desktops up to 10 years old, that have in-tact screens, cameras and outer cases. Any devices that can’t be upcycled will be salvaged and used for parts and any parts not used will be recycled.
