Together We Are

Raising Youth Voice

Youth in Te Tai Tokerau - Northland have many needs and aspirations. Because of this - it is important that our environment, and our health and well-being services, truly represent the voice of our youth.

So how do we ensure that policy, service design and delivery have a youth lens?

Following consultation with youth across our rohe, one message was clear. Youth wanted a safe, virtual space to share their feedback with local agencies - on topics that matter the most to youth. The Upside website was developed to address the following question: What can we do, that will make a positive difference for youth in Te Tai Tokerau?

On this website, there are a range of free, confidential surveys. When you complete a survey, your feedback will be used to advise local government and non-government agencies on how to better meet the needs of youth. Your voice has the power to become policy and improve services for your community!
