Youth organisations and resources

Here are some websites and organisations that focus on youth issues:

Ministry of Youth Development
The Ministry of Youth Development (Te Manatu Whakahiato Taiohi) promotes the interests of young people aged between 12 and 24 years inclusive. The Ministry encourages and assists young people to be involved in the social, educational, economic and cultural development of New Zealand, both locally and nationally.
Their site has useful features such as How to tell government what you think and online youth participation websites and toolkits.
Youth Parliament
The Youth Parliament takes place every three years and 2010 was the most recent. It was an opportunity for young New Zealanders to learn about New Zealand’s democracy and influence public decision-making.
