Celebrating Everyday Young New Zealanders
From 14 March to 2 May 2008, the Ministry led a nationwide publicity campaign calling for people to nominate young people who have made a positive contribution to their communities, country and/or peers.

Over 140 nominations were received from across the country which showed the extent and variety of the many positive things young people are doing in our community’s everyday. Click here for more information and to see profiles of inspirational young New Zealanders.
