What is the Youth Council and why are we creating one?
Hamilton City Council wants our city’s rangatahi to have a genuine voice in the decisions that affect you. You don’t need previous experience, just a passion to make a difference. We’ll guide you through everything you need!
The Youth Council will:
- provide advice to Council staff
- make submissions on matters of interest
- monitor progress of the Rangatahi Action Plan.
