Grants
'Youth' is one of the focus areas of the social pool of the general grants offered by the Council. Specific criteria for youth-related grant applications in this pool are that projects should:
- involve young people in the development and delivery of the project
- encourage constructive use of leisure time
- help young people to gain a better understanding of community, feel an increased sense of belonging as active citizens and contribute positively to society
- promote volunteer opportunities for young people.
Youth Work Wellington
Youth Work Wellington brings together people who work for and with youth.
