Activities for rangatahi (young people) in Kāpiti Coast with Zeal
Zeal Kāpiti is a dedicated youth centre in the heart of Paraparaumu, near Pak’n’Save. We have a gig space, rehearsal room, a digital design lab and more. Here’s what we’ve got on offer!
Hangs
On Tuesday – Friday, 3.30-5.30pm, we run free afternoon hangs for young people. We provide a chilled out, safe environment with Xbox, food and Wi-Fi, and our youth workers are trained to provide additional care if needed.
Ōtaki Hangs
On Tuesday from 3-5pm, we head up to Ōtaki to connect with local young people. Keep an eye out for the Zeal banners at the school canteen at Ōtaki College!
