Caritas promotes authentic human development. This means development of the whole person. It provides for their economic, cultural, political, social and spiritual wellbeing.
YCC Day is the day when Caritas combines with Catholic schools across New Zealand as together we stand in solidarity for a good cause and raise funds and awareness for a selected focus school.
Save the Date
Friday, 3 July 2026
Mark this date in your school calendar and join young Catholics across New Zealand in coming together for a good cause. Have fun wearing non-uniform for the small cost of a gold coin donation. Together, we can make a lasting difference for a school that lacks the same opportunities and privileges we enjoy.
But what exactly is YCC Day?
The letters remind us of the purpose:
YCC Day 2026 Focus School
Supporting Takuilau College in Tonga
Helping to provide much needed resources and facility improvements to their music room.
We will help by providing musical equipment, chairs, printers and other equipment. This room will provide students with the space to practise and bring music to life. By joining schools across Aotearoa and donating a gold coin, you’ll be standing in solidarity with those in need.
YCC Day reminds us that small actions can create big change. Together, we can make a lasting impact — because every coin truly counts!
Mark your calendars or choose a date that suits you and get ready to make a difference on YCC Day 2026.
