Our Youth Council is made up of 18 teenaged citizens of our city. Each year we look for nominations for new Youth Councillors as some of the team move on.
The Napier Youth Council is made up of 12-18 teenagers who live, work or attend school in Napier. We call for applications at the end of each calendar year, and we also receive nominations from high schools, education providers and community organisations.
Each year the Youth Council set their work plan which involves projects, promotions, events and giving input and a youth perspective to the Napier City Council staff and Council.
Want to know more about what we do? Have a look at our Terms of Reference.

I want to make the most of this opportunity to have my voice heard and make positive change for our community and city. One thing I also want to make the most of is my strong Mormon Church community I have backing me! I am passionate about our city and I look forward to where this journey takes me.
I'm a classic Kiwi - shooting and tramping are huge passions of mine, as well as my academic studies.
