Sport NZ has created a paper to guide you through key considerations to help your board make an informed decision on the best way to hear from young people.

This board paper will take you through the following key considerations:

The How

The When

The Who

What groups of rangatahi do we need to hear from?

The What

What does good look like for recruiting and onboarding a youth trustee?
