The Ministry of Youth Development is administered by the Ministry of Social Development and their funding is crucial to the delivery of the Award here in New Zealand.
Their values align with the Award with an emphasis on supporting young people to be resilient, to live in inclusive and supportive communities, to improve their readiness for work, to participate positively in society and reach their potential and finally to empower rangatahi to have a voice in governance and leadership.
Diversity and inclusivity are priorities, with MYD funding focusing increasingly on young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including migrant communities, Māori and Pacific Island communities and low socio-economic communities.
