The AGM is always a great opportunity to recognise the wonderful mahi of our volunteers. On Wednesday three volunteers received long service awards; pictured here is Maria with CABNZ Chair, Neil Lancaster, receiving her certificate for 20 years service to CAB along with Shona (20 years) and Heather (10 years). Jan received a merit award for 8 years serving on the Board and four volunteers received accreditation after completing their training. CAB also recognised Peter Redpath who has provided volunteer lawyer support to our clients for more than 40 years. Fantastic!

Happy International Youth Day!

A huge shout-out to all the incredible young volunteers who bring so much energy, leadership and vision to our organisation. You are true rangatira, and we’re so grateful for the mahi you do.

And to all the young people out there in communities around Aotearoa: you are always welcome through our doors. Whatever your circumstances, wherever you’re at, and whatever you’re navigating, we’re here to listen, support you, and help you thrive.

At Citizens Advice Bureau, we believe every young person deserves access to the information, support and opportunities they need to make informed decisions and have their voice heard.

At CAB, you can always speak with a real person face-to-face, over the phone or check out our Youth Tool Kete, www.youth.cab.org.nz, which was created specifically for young people, with clear, accessible information to help you understand your rights and navigate some of life’s trickier situations.

Happy International Youth Day, taiohi mā! We’re here for you.
