Youth Advisory Group

The Activate Youth Advisory Group aims to keep the young people of Aotearoa informed and the public alerted to the voice of youth today.

Activate.jpgWe are Activate, a youth advisory group for the Ministry of Youth Development.

We are a Wellington based group and have been going since 2005. We come from different cultures including Māori, Pakeha and Pasifika. We are all volunteers!

Membership criteria

All members of the group went through a selection process. One of the things we did was list the youth perspective/s and views we would bring to Activate (for example being a young parent, being a New Zealander or relating it to our cultural background) and why these views are important to have in Activate.

We also needed to:

  • be aged between 15-21 years old
  • be able to work in a group with lots of different kinds of young people
  • be open to and respectful of other young people’s cultures and identities
  • be available for monthly meetings
  • be involved for at least one year.
