Overview

This funding aims to provide youth enterprise opportunities that will incorporate strength-based youth development practice (informed by Mana Taiohi and Te Kete Aronui ) to support young people to succeed in life and enable them to contribute positively to Aotearoa New Zealand’s economy and communities.
By funding the Service(s), MYD intends to help young people prepare for future employment, which aligns with MYD's aim to support economic participation and work-readiness through youth enterprise opportunities.

Through funding the Service(s), MYD will contribute to the YE eco-system supporting young people, at various points along their entrepreneurial journey.
