When you apply, you will need to fill out the General Application and choose to be in 1 of the 2 teams here at Puketāpapa Youth Foundation. Which one should you pick?
Communications Team
General Application
The Communications Team manages all our media outlets such as our website, Instagram, Facebook, newsletters and other external media. As a member, you will get to create and design graphics and advertisements, get involved with videography and photography, work with different mediums of communication, and get hands-on experience with marketing and media management. Our main goal is to act as a transparent window between PYF and Puketāpapa.
Operations Teams
General Application
The Operations Teams are the heart of the foundation. They organise and run the events and activities that PYF delivers to the public, such as the Youth Summit and the PYF Ball '20. The Operations Teams have a wide focus area, from civics to the environment to arts and culture. You will work alongside the Communications and Hauora Teams to advocate, empower and connect the rangatahi of Puketāpapa.
What’s the eligibility?
We are currently a foundation of 27 members, and we’re on the lookout for some new team members who have a passion for their community and doing work that can help benefit their peers, people who think critically and work well in a team, and people who have open minds and are able to be creative and innovate to help make the work we do better.
To be eligible to join the Puketāpapa Youth Foundation, you need to be between the ages of 14 and 24, and you need to either live, work, or study (Lynfield College, Mount Roskill Grammar, Marcellin College) in the Puketāpapa Local Board area. If you don’t live, work or study in the area, but have another meaningful connection (previously lived here, family is here, used to work here, live nearby, etc.), you’re more than welcome to apply too!
