4Uth Strategy
The purpose of the Youth Strategy is to identify what young people (12 - 24 year olds) in Rodney want and need from their Council and to say how the Council plans to help young people in Rodney.
The Key Ideas In The Strategy:
1. Young people want to participate in and influence the future shaping of their communities
2. Young people value their social environment and want to be active and safe
3. Young people want things to do and places to hang out
4. Young people want to be able to get around the district safely
5. Young people value their natural environment and want it to be kept clean and accessible
6. Young people want access to education, employment, career and other opportunities and services
2Educate Campaign
The Council in conjunction with the NZ Police, AlcoholAdvisory Council of New Zealand and Local Community organisations recently undertook an alcohol education project called 2Educate.
One of the aims of 2Educate was to create resources which are relevant to Rodney communities. Three resources were created which aim to help educate communities about the effects and implications of supplying alcohol to young people under the age of 18, as well as to raise awareness of services available to youth and families dealing with alcohol issues in Rodney.
