Our Vision
We want an Aotearoa where young people are achieving their full potential as valued, included and thriving citizens, able to make a positive difference in the communities in which they belong.
We work to connect, support and empower young people and Youth Voice Groups to actively participate, elevate the voices of young people and be champions of change. We do this by removing barriers to participation and equipping them with the tools, knowledge and opportunities to belong, connect and succeed.
We provide a regional network of young people and Youth Voice Groups who are committed to increasing youth and civic participation.
Regional Network
Facilitation & Support
We take on a facilitation and/or an umbrella role for Youth Voice Groups that need additional support.
Events & Projects

Training & Development
We provide bespoke training and development to grow the capacity and capability of young people and Youth Voice Groups to enable them to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Submissions & Policy Reform
We coordinate a proactive policy reform process to enable young people and Youth Voice Groups to contribute to consultations and submissions that will affect young people in Aotearoa.
