Our Youth Rōpū has Launched!
Today, our world is at a turning point as issues of climate change, mental health, inequality, poverty and so many more escalate. What does our horizon hold?
Young people are leading at the forefront of change here in Aotearoa. This is a generation of hope.
Save the Children New Zealand’s new youth programme, Generation Hope NZ is an opportunity for rangatahi like you to speak up for change, have your voice heard by decision makers and feel empowered to step out and lead.
Stand up, speak out and create change
Young people today are grappling with many big issues - climate change, poverty, inequality, racism, conflict and much more.
At home and around the world, youth are at the forefront of change, calling on the Government to take greater action. This is a generation of hope.
Through our Youth Programme we aim to amplify the voices of youth across Aotearoa. Uplifting, supporting and empowering young people to continue to take action on issues they care about.
Are you between the ages of 13-18? Get in touch here to find out more.
