Youths wanted to help spend $10,000
Waikato District Council is looking for young people with an interest in their community to take a lead in bringing ideas for youth projects and events to their local community boards and committees.
The Council has received $10,000 funding from the Ministry of Social Development to support the establishment of volunteer ‘youth action groups’ with representatives on local community boards and committees in Ngaruawahia, Huntly, Te Kauwhata, Tuakau, Onewhero, Raglan and Tamahere.
Groups established within the community could be supported with a budget of up to $1,000 each to design, develop and run community based youth projects between now and the end of June.
If you would like to join a youth action group in your area, contact Shannon Kelly on 027 405 6450.
