Youth Communities - Events & Projects Support

Youth event - Civic Square

The Wellington City Council supports a range of youth events and projects.

The Youth Team's main focus is to coordinate and support work with young people, in the 12-24 age-group, by working with volunteers, youth workers and relevant organisations.

The Youth Team can offer technical and other practical help to youth projects, activities and events that meet the criteria and contribute to the Council's Youth Services Framework.
