Join the Nelson Youth Council

If you are interested in what Youth Council does, currently live in Nelson and are between 14 – 24 years old, then Nelson Youth Council could be for you.

Please register your interest, if you are passionate about your community or have strong beliefs about Nelson and the future of it. 

Registrations open on 24 September and close on 19 October. You can sign up at nelson.govt.nz/youth-council from 24 September. 

Nelson Youth Council is a fantastic group to be part of and is something that the people of Nelson are passionate and proud of.

Providing a youth voice to Council is one of our objectives, along with advocacy and engaging the wider youth voice. 

Meanwhile, we have recently submitted on the Joint Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. 

The management of waste around Nelson has been a topic of interest for us and we have been involved in projects in the past, supporting Nelson’s environment. 

Nelson Youth Council sees the long term value of waste management for our environment and strongly supports Council’s goal of avoiding the creation of waste.
