Rangitikei Council votes unanimously for Youth Council

November, 2018

Council voted unanimously at its November 2018 meeting to establish a Rangitikei Youth Council.

It was proposed that a youth committee be set up to allow youth aged between 13 - 24 a voice on issues affecting our community.

It was also noted that the youth council would be an avenue to develop skills and involve youth in civic engagement, government and its decision-making processes.

I interviewed Nadi Gower, Strategic Advisor for Rangatahi/Youth immediately after the decision.

Apologies for the sound quality, it got a bit windy, but Nardia's smiling face and enthusiasm is infectious and worth watching.
