Services for young people
The Ministry of Youth Development purchases Youth Development Services that offer young people (12-24 year olds) personal and social development and learning opportunities. These opportunities facilitate participation, inclusion and engagement, leading to achievement, awards or qualifications and long term economic and independent well being.
Information about funding for Organisations
A
two stage process is in place to administer the 2008/09 Services for
Young People contracting round. The first stage called for Expressions of Interest from organisations
considering delivering services on behalf of the Ministry. The second
stage will consist of the Ministry inviting selected organisations to
develop and submit a Full Application detailing their proposed service.
Stage One

Interest are now closed. If you have not received acknowedgement of
your Expression of Interest by Friday 30 November, please contact
either Dibs Patel - (04) 916 3670, or Sandra Meredith - (04) 916 3662.
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of
their Expression of Interest by 20 December 2007.
Stage Two
The assessment panel will invite applicants short listed at stage one to submit a Full Application.
How young people can participate in a service?
If you're keen to join a Ministry funded service there's a couple of things you need to know:
- there are no fees, unless the service is residential, (in which case you may qualify for an accommodation supplement)
- no minimum qualification is required to participate.
To sign up for a service you need to contact the provider directly. See
the links above to see the current Ministry funded services operating
in your area.
What's in it for young people?
The services provide young people with the opportunity to learn things
that will enhance their education options and further their career
prospects. See the links above to contact providers for
service details.
