Kaipātiki Information
Kaipātiki Local Youth Board
Provides opportunities for young people in Kaipãtiki to get involved in the community, and have the voice of youth in local decision making processes. It also means being part of the local consultation process with the Kaipãtiki Local Board and other local and central government agencies.
Most importantly, the Kaipãtiki Local Youth Board allows our youth to engage with others their same age at a decision-making level, and to engage with elected officials and politicians to provide events, or projects for youth lead by youth.
