About Provoke Network

The Provoke Network is for young people from 13-24 years old living in Aotearoa New Zealand. It’s about getting young people’s voices heard by decision makers and supporting them to do that.

ProvokeNetworkcartoon.jpgThe Provoke Network is bigger and better than PROVOKE (a Ministry of Youth Development initiative that replaced the Student Representative Scheme) which ran in 2005-2006.

The Provoke Network has come out of feedback from the youth voice advocates involved in 2006. You can view a summary of their feedback at the end of this page.
