3 days ago | 60 views

The New Zealand government is investing $20.7 million into youth development programmes aimed at supporting over 60,000 at-risk young people through early intervention and prevention. Funding will be allocated to 53 organisations via two main funds—the Place-Based Youth Development Fund for community-led, long-term programmes, and the Youth Development Contributory Fund for shorter-term initiatives—tailored to regional needs. These programmes focus on education re-engagement, skill development, and personal growth, aiming to improve life outcomes, reduce long-term social costs, and align with government targets on school attendance, youth employment, and offending.
