Super proud of our Youth4Sure rangatahi and team who presented alongside our co-funders and Le Moana Collective, in a workshop session “Investing Differently” at Auckland Council Community Impact Forum!

The Y4S team discussed how the participatory grant-making project started, how Y4S came to be and the journey our rangatahi have been on so far. They also shared the impact of Y4S and their personal experiences being part of the panel— what it means to them to be active community leaders, decision makers and giving back to their community and youth peers.

Massive thank you to the Community Impact Forum team for having us be part of this! And of course, huge thanks to our co-funders, the Maungakiekie-Tämaki Local Board and Foundation North, whose support has been integral to our growth ❤️‍🔥
