Funding update 2. Youth Development Fund
Funding update 2. Youth Development Fund
Each financial year, the Council's community boards set aside an amount of money to fund young people in their local community.
Under this scheme, the community boards consider applications for a variety of activities including educational studies, cultural studies, representation at events (sporting, cultural and community), recreation development, capacity building etc.
In the financial year which closed on 30 June 2024, we funded several individuals and groups, for participation in many diverse activities. The funded amount ranged from $100 (individual) to $1000 (team). The sheer variety of the activities our youth participate in is mind-blowing. Please have a look yourself:
Auckland U14 Football Tournament
Cricket Cup in Dubai
Cultural Exchange to Japan
