Youth Week 2010 Evaluation and 2011 dates

Youth Week 2011 will be held once again in the last week of May - nearly half of all youth week 2010 evaluation participants wanted to keep it in May, so that's is what we are doing! We have also kept Youth Week 2011 as a 9 day week so that there are more weekend days for Youth Week fun!!

You can see a full copy of the Youth Week 2010 evaluation here.

The wonderful Njela Sharrock has left NZAAHD, on to bigger and better things! We thank her for all her hard work that made Youth Week 2010 a huge success.
 

We are excited to announce that Andrea Leersnyder (previously our Office Manager) is taking over as our Youth Week Campaign Coordinator. She will be in touch in the next few months about Youth Week 201. You can reach her on youth@nzaahd.org.nz.


More information on the 2011 steering group and theme will be out in September and October, so keep an eye out for it.

Sponsor of the week
New Zealand Aotearoa Adolescent Health and Development (NZAAHD) is a national network organisation for people who work with young people (those aged 12 to 25).

Members of NZAAHD have a voice to government about issues impacting on them and young people. We keep you informed on policy debates and initiatives being developed by government and other decision-makers. We also; make submissions, get involved in policy-making, positively advocate on key issues our membership have identified (e.g. access to health care for young people) and act as a voice to media.

We bring together people from all disciplines and professions, helping you to better enable your work with youth. By connecting up with other people who are working with young people, in and out of your specific field, you build your contacts. Through regional branches and caucuses, we provide support for members to come together for training, networking and information sharing. NZAAHD provides you with many opportunities to connect and work with other people who work with youth.


NZAAHD helps to keep you informed and up to date. We disseminate new research, current affairs and professional development opportunities that relate to young people and your work. We do this through our website, through weekly email updates, and through a quarterly newsletter.
