Community Youth Advisor
What’s the best part of your job?
What gets me excited every morning is the opportunity to use my connector skills across a wide cross section of the city dwellers, especially the vulnerable and those needing extra support.
How do you help serve our city?
A lot of rangatahi who relocate to Wellington see the capital as the city to be in to fulfil their dreams, without realising the many hidden costs (emotionally, socially, financially) of living here. Being able to connect them to the immediate urgent services they need, elevates their mental wellbeing and makes them a valuable resource to our city.
