Mission
To support young people and youth participation groups to develop the skills and pathways to participate, advocate, and be champions for young people in Canterbury,
Aims
Connect Young People
We like to bring young people together for events such as 'youth connects', often over a common issue to connect, network, and share ideas.
Develop the Youth Voice
We want to develop the youth voice, which is about providing training's and workshops to our network and also promoting professional development opportunities and ways for youth to get their voices heard.
Champion Youth Participation
This is about championing the fact that young people exist, they are inheriting tomorrow, and they have a voice that can be as loud as anyone else. We champion youth participation by contributing to collaborations, panels and projects and advocating and presenting on youth participation, engagement, and why it is important to get young people involved.
