Zeal West

Welcome to Zeal West, a vibrant institution located in the heart of Henderson, West Auckland. As a multi-faceted establishment, we offer a unique blend of an art gallery, electronics store, home goods store, and a point of interest all in one place.

At Zeal West, we prioritize creating safe and inclusive spaces where young people like you can come together, socialize, learn valuable skills, and overcome challenges. Our dedicated team is committed to walking alongside you with authenticity, empathy, and support, no matter what you're going through.

Think of Zeal West as a whānau, a family, where you are seen, heard, valued, and accepted. We believe in giving you the opportunity to thrive on your own terms. Whether you drop by for a casual hangout or have specific inquiries, we are here for you.

We offer a wide range of activities and programs designed for rangatahi in West Auckland. Our facility boasts a dance/rehearsal space, recording studios, and a digital design lab, providing you with the tools and resources to explore your creativity.

Every Tuesday to Friday from 3-5pm, we host free afternoon hangs for young people. These sessions offer a relaxed and safe environment complete with Xbox, food, and Wi-Fi. Our trained youth workers are also available to provide additional support if needed.

On Fridays from 7-10pm, we take the fun outside and connect with local young people. We have set up an outdoor dance floor and basketball hoop right in front of Zeal, creating an exciting and engaging atmosphere.

We strongly believe that every young person in West Auckland should have access to the digital world. That's why we have launched a program in local schools where you can learn computer refurbishment skills, take a computer home, and contribute to your community by donating devices. Enquire below for more information or to donate a device.

Zeal also offers various programs to help you unleash your creativity and thrive in the working world. Whether you're interested in learning hip hop and contemporary dance, mastering musical instruments, or gaining hands-on experience in a cafe, we have something for everyone.

Additionally, we dive into the exhilarating world of competitive video gaming, helping you level up your gaming knowledge and discover the action-packed realm of eSports.
