Join the Y4S Youth Funding Panel in 2026

Are you passionate about youth voice and real community impact?

The YOUTH4SURE (Y4S) 2026 Funding Panel is now seeking rangatahi aged 16–21 who live, study, work or play in Maungakiekie–Tāmaki to help decide how funding is designed, distributed, and invested locally.

This isn’t a token role. Panel members are part of real decision-making — reviewing applications, asking hard questions, and backing initiatives that genuinely support young people.

We’re looking for young leaders who are:

  • Committed and reliable

  • Thoughtful and empathetic

  • Ready to represent their peers

  • Willing to learn how funding works behind the scenes

If you care about making sure resources reach the right people — and you’re ready to step into responsibility — this is your opportunity.

Applications close Monday 2 February 2026.
