Volunteer Nelson Young Leaders acknowledged in community awards

Volunteer Nelson’s Young Leaders Programme won the Regional Award in the Education & Child/Youth Development Category at the 2017 Trustpower Community Awards.

The idea for strengthening the volunteering component of the Young Leaders Programme came about in 2016 when Volunteer Nelson was a participant in the Department of Internal Affairs’ Community Internship Programme.

The Young Leaders Programme enables local people aged 17 to 24 years to obtain a free qualification in Youth Work Level 3, as a pathway to youth work and community work, or as a learning and development opportunity.
