For the ninth year, Red Frogs New Zealand would be gearing up for an unforgettable few months of supporting and safeguarding young people during the holiday period.
Red Frogs is a non-profit organisation which ensures young people are provided with a safe and positive environment as they attend New Year celebrations and festivals.
Thousands of teenagers and young adults would be flocking to popular holiday locations and festivals where the Red Frogs would be on hand.
Red Frogs have been at New Year events in Queenstown and Wanaka for nine years and from December 29 to January 1 would once again provide a chill out/safe zone and roaming teams with sunscreen and water at the holiday hotspots.
Safe zones were alcohol and drug-free areas which would provide people with a place to take a break during festivals.
Red Frogs New Zealand director Ray Thomson said the summer season was shaping up to be one of Red Frogs’ busiest.
"We are so excited for the summer ahead. Red Frogs are returning to some of our favourite locations to help safeguard young people and this would not be possible if it wasn’t for the support from local councils, police and emergency services and, of course, our amazing Red Frog volunteers," he said.
