Our youth council take a ‘for youth, by youth approach.’ We plan and organise a vast range of projects, aimed at addressing the challenges young people face within the community. From projects such as our annual Film Festival and Music Competition, to tree planting events and Student Leadership initiatives, our mahi is as diverse as our community. 

​

Beyond our projects, we also play an active role in local decision-making by advising on and facilitating consultation on council plans that impact youth. This is crucial in ensuring the voices of young people are represented in shaping the future of Ōrākei and the wider Auckland region.
