LAST CHANCE TO VOTE FOR AMI COMMUNITY GRANT

Josh from Mount Maunganui

Hi,

My name is Josh and last year i came third in the young innovator awards for an innovative website that helps student find jobs.

The youth unemployment rate in NZ is 11.2%. My vision is to reduce this. If i can reduce the rate by 0.1% it will save the government 3m per year. I started the site in Tauranga at the end of last year and now have 450 teenagers enrolled and have about 30 jobs per week coming through.

We are now currently in the running for an AMI community grant which closes today. The top 3 contenders sit between 21% and 24% of the vote which is very close. I need your vote today! Click here: www.neighbourly.co.nz...

All money raised would go towards expanding the site across New Zealand which will help more teenagers to find jobs.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
